history: Once my car stalled at a store when I was alone.  I felt pretty comfortable accepting his help, because he seemed sincere. My car stalled when I was at a store not long ago. that's a bummer_comma_ i hope it was nothing serious happen to your car
current: It was nothing too bad.  A man helped me get it started so I could at least get it home.
next: that is good to hear,  there are always kind people out there to help
