Two Sides To Every Story

Did you hear about the guy who had his car up on a jack while he worked underneath it. A passer-by snuck up on him and kicked the jack out of position so that the car fell onto the owner's chest breaking six of his ribs. The passer-by settled down in a corner to watch the action but did nothing to help. He just watched quietly while the man feebly called for help (but nobody heard him).

By sheer chance the man's wife returned home a few hours later and she was able to rescue him.

That's when the passer-by approached the woman and told her that had spent the last two hours watching while her husband suffered. He explained that he hadn't bothered to help because he got a great deal of pleasure from watching people writhe in pain. He said he was entitled to a bit of fun and now that she had returned home and rescued the victim, "Well it has all turned out for the best after all."

As it happens the passer-by was well-known the family so the woman didn't raise a fuss about the fact that he kicked over the jack and caused such horrible injuries. Instead she praised him for his bravery and congratulated him for spending so much time watching over her husband until she managed to get home to save him.

Here's the same story with a Christian spin:

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah (April 25, 2015 — A Utah woman said she got a feeling Monday morning that something was wrong with her husband. So she rushed home and ended up saving his life. 

According to FOX13, Scott Mayhew, 43, was inside his garage working on his car, when the vehicle fell off the jack and crushed his chest. 

He tried yelling for help, but no one heard him. He laid trapped under the jack for an hour and a half. 

Scott’s wife Nicole Mayhew was at work at the time of the accident. Nicole told FOX13 she got a funny feeling she needed to see her husband. “I just said I need to go check on him working on the car I just believe a spirit told me,” Nicole said. 

As soon as Nicole pulled into the driveway she knew something was wrong. “I thought, ‘it’s on him, it’s got to be on him, the car,’ that’s what’s in my head, so I knew immediately,” said Nicole. 

Her instinct was correct. She ran into the garage to find her husband and father of their five children, lying underneath the Ford Explorer. 

Nicole called 911, and Scott was flown to University of Utah Hospital. Police said there was concern of possible internal bleeding, but fortunately Nicole got there in time. 

Nicole told FOX13, “He said he kept praying for me to come home. I believe that you know there’s angels around us and my religion, my Heavenly Father was with him.” 

Scott Mayhew suffered six broken ribs but is expected to make a full recovery.
