Listening Script
Host: Hello and welcome to the Rush Hour Show, the radio show for your way home. Our guest today is Kevin Miller, with the Pay It Forward Foundation. Welcome, Kevin, so what is “paying it forward”?
Kevin: 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.
Host: Oh, so it's like helping a stranger. Can you give us an example of how it works?
Kevin: Well, I'm sure you've heard the famous country song, “The Chain of Love”. The song starts with a man who helps 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 and a note for the waitress. Her note tells the waitress to continue the chain of kindness. The song has a surprising 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!
Host: What a great story! So does this happen in real life?
Kevin: 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 for the customer behind him. The chain of kindness continued for hours. Nearly 400 people paid for the coffee of the person behind them!
Host: Wow, that's amazing. So what can our listeners do to help?
Kevin: Well, join the chain of kindness today and join the millions of people who are “paying it forward"! We never know what light we might spark in others by our kindness.

Subway Station
Chain of love
Once, I was waiting for the subway when someone approached me. As I didn’t have any idea what he really wanted to do, I stepped backward instinctively. Then he made a request, “Could you please lend me some money because my phone is out of power and I don’t have cash. You can add me into your “contacts” in wechat and I will pay you back as son as I arrived at home.”
To be frank, I showed uncertainty about his words. I thought, “what if he cheated me?” However, aware of his hopeless voice, I still bought a ticket for him, although I didn’t trust him completely,
A few hours later, I almost forgot it. Finally, to my surprise, he really gave back the money. All was proved to be true. So offering help was really worth it. After that, I was determined to never hesitate to spread love even if it may be a lie.
