Tonight when I was waiting for the bus. Four college age boys was walking past me, one of them knocked my bag with groceries down. Other one pushed me down. They were laughing and saying mean things when this other gentleman somehow took one of the guy onto ground. The gentleman said if everyone doesn't start run, he'll break the boy's neck. After they all ran away, this gentleman got up and tell the boy to run or else.
He helped me up and apologized for what happened. He also put the groceries back into the bag and hand it to me. He even take out twenty dollar and told me that it's all he have but I need it more to buy foods that got broken. I tried to refused, but he made me take it. He stand and didn't say much, everything I asked, his answer was short and vague. When the bus came, I asked him what his name is, he says "my name isn't important. If you want to show your appericate, support the local high school and college wrestling team" and walked away.

Why would he do that? He put his life in dangerous and gained nothing from it. He seems to be a college student, other boys did as well.
If I see him again, how should I show him I appericate what he did for me?

He was a true gentleman in the fullest extent of the word. Chivalry is NOT dead! Thank the Lord! People shouldn't do the right thing just to gain something from it. They should just want to help their fellowman. He was obviously horrified by the behavior of those youths, yet you think HIS behavior was strange! Haha! Times have changed so much, now, that when someone does us a good deed, we sometimes view them suspiciously. LOL. The next time you see him, thank him graciously for coming to your rescue. He most certanly did put his life in jeopardy to help you. Also, you'd want to make a contribution, as he suggested. Great story!

He will most definitely gain from the experience. He need not tell a soul. God saw that he reached out to help. Someone may rescue him later from an accident for just simply helping you. It's not just about that though. You know..."reaping what you sow." It is also about being a reflection of Him-Jesus. That is how we are supposed to act all the time. We were made "in his image" to look, act, talk, etc. like Him. So Christians completely enjoy helping others. It feels so good. Try it sometime. Bless someone else-no matter how great or small. Then you can say that I told you so. God bless. (:

He did it to show you that not everyone was raised to behave like those boys, and that respect is important! I am embarrassed to see people my age act like that toward other people. I can understand the feeling. Also he did it to show you that one person can make a difference even in the face of four doing the wrong thing. Say thank you, then show you appreciate it by responding the same way in a situation where someone else is on the receiving end. Also by teaching your children to grow up to be like him, not the other boys!

He did it because he is a gentleman, as in a person with morals.
Thank him. Then try to follow in his place.
You're wasting your time "over"-thanking him.
As long as you don't forget him, that should be thanks enough.
You could
#1- Support the wrestling team
and/or
#2- Be good to others the way that he was good to you.
Good luck, Peace.
