At 3:30 a.m., a man was jolted awake by heavy knocking. Half-asleep, he reluctantly answered, expecting a drunk stranger asking for trouble—but the man just wanted a “push.” Irritated, he sent him away, only for his wife to remind him of a past time he’d needed help himself.
He went back outside, called out, and discovered the “stranger” was actually a small boy on a swing, asking for a push for Halloween fun. Smiling, he obliged.
Meanwhile, across town, a would-be thief was spooked by a parrot named Moses warning him, alongside a Rottweiler named Jesus, causing him to abandon his plan.
Back home, the man reflected on the night: sometimes people ask for help at inconvenient times—not because it’s urgent, but because a small act, like a push, can make a difference.
