A Mother's Plea
July 20th, 2012 | 32 Comments
On a dark summer night, a
couple was on their way home
from the movies. Riding down
the same stretch of road they
always took to get to their
house, they came across a
woman who was on the side of
the road. The woman stumbled
out into the street and flagged
them down.
The couple
pulled over
and rushed
to her aid.
She seemed
to be badly
injured and
with tears in her eyes, told the
couple that she was just in a
horrible car accident and her
baby was trapped in the
backseat.
The man told the woman to stay
with his wife and he would go
and free the baby. As the man
approached the mangled
vehicle, he heard the baby
crying in the back seat. Relieved
that the baby was still alive, he
rushed to the car, got in the
back seat and freed the baby.
As he lifted the child, he noticed
the dead couple in the driver
and passenger seat. He got out
with the baby and went back to
where his wife and the woman
were waiting, but as soon as he
got there he noticed that his
wife was by herself.
"Where's the woman?" the
husband asked.
"She went back to the car to
help." his wife said, also
relieved that the baby was still
alive and OK.
He gave the baby to his wife
and went back to the car to look
for the woman. When he got
there, he called out for her but
there was no answer. He
walked around toward the front
of the car. As he glanced
through the broken windshield
at the dead couple inside, his
face turned pale and he lost his
breath. The dead woman who
was in the passenger seat was
the same woman who had
flagged them down.
