| Once upon a time, in a village far, far, away....
A foreign girl drove 3 hours from her little town of "O" to the closest mall in "S" for shopping.
After spending 7.5 hours shopping and stocking up on goods such as multi-grain bread, lots of spring clothes, and McDonalds, she set off on her journey back home.
An hour into her trip back, she was passing through the village of "R". Believing that she had taken the wrong road. She stopped and tried to back up to look at a road sign she had just passed.
Unaware of the fact that the steering wheel was angled to the left. She stepped on the gas and backed into a wooden sign on the curb. The sound was so loud that a family having a barbeque nearby took notice, thought it was a drunk driver, and called the police.
When they found out it was a poor little lost foreign girl and her tiny Kei car, they insisted to the police that there was no need to come. But because the call was already made, they had to come and write a report anyway.
It was very cold that night. The family ran to grab a jacket for the girl to wear to keep warm, and invited her to join the barbeque while she waited for the police to come.
The police came after a while and things were sorted out as best as it could. Then the policemen were also invited to join the barbeque. Which, they happily accepted.
Business cards were exchanged and meat was eaten. And the family insisted that the girl stay at their home for the night as they were worried about her being too tired and getting lost again in the middle of the night.
So the girl stayed the night.
The next morning the family served a delicious breakfast for the girl and arranged for her to take photographs with the family before sending her on her way back home.
From this small accident, the girl was able to meet a very kind family. It was a day to remember.
To this day, they are still keeping in touch.
The End.
