Listening and talking to listen to the radio show again and fill in the blanks to complete the story. Hello, and welcome to the rush hour show, the radio show for your way home, our guess today's Kevin Miller with the paid forward foundation. Welcome, Kevin. So what is paying IT forward? Hi there. So paying IT forward means that if you receive kindness from someone, you don't try to pay them back. Instead, you go out and show kindness to someone else. Oh, so it's like helping a stranger. Can you give us an example of how that works? Well, i'm sure you've heard the famous country song the chain of love. The song starts with a man who helped a lady whose car has broken down. The lady wants to pay him, but he won't accept payment, instead telling the woman to just show kindness to another person. Later, when the lady stops at a cafe, SHE notices her waitress is pregnant and tired. When the lady finishes eating, SHE pays for her meal with a hundred dollar bill. Then the lady walks out, leaving the change in a note for the waitress. Her note tells the waitress to continue the chain of kindness. The song has a surprise ending. The waitress goes home to her husband happy because of the kindness the lady showed her. Then we find out that he's the man who first started the chain of kindness. What a great story. So does this happen in real life? Yes, actually, one woman, after paying for her coffee, then quietly paid for the coffee of the customer behind her. When that customer discovered his coffee had been paid for, he paid the customer behind him. The chain of kindness continued for hours. Nearly four hundred people paid for the coffee of the person behind them. Wow, that's amazing. So what can our listeners do to help? Well join the chain of kindness today and join the millions of people who are paying IT forward? We never know what like we might Spark in others by our kindness.
