My brother and I were driving home together and started talking about something interesting.Without paying attention，my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately，the wrong turn took us toward a bridge and，we had no way of turning back.My brother had to pay to cross.He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of ＄4.
As we drove forward，my brother noticed an old black Mustang （福特野馬汽車） by the side of the road.A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone.I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help.And he did.He had a flat tire.
My brother helped him change the flat.We started getting to know the young man who was from a rough （粗糙的） neighborhood nearby.He said that this has been a bad week for him；earlier he had gotten into a minor （不嚴(yán)重的） car accident，and now this flat on his way home from work.But he called us "a breath of fresh air" and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn't come along.After we had finished the job，he thanked us again and pulled out ＄20 to try to give it to us. "No，" I said. "We were never supposed to even get on that bridge.We took a wrong turn.But now we know why we did.It was to help you.Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve."
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process.He was able to turn his annoyance over the mistake into positive energy.He was able to see a chance to help （which I totally missed!） even in an otherwise negative situation，which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart.That was the bridge we were meant to cross.
