Russ and Mary stood looking at the smoldering ruin of their home. The fire had started last night in the chimney. There wasn’t much left. It had just been a small frame house. They were in shock and didn’t quite know what to do.
They heard a vehicle on the road and turned around. It was the wood man pulling a cart full of wood. He stopped in front of the burned house and walked up to them.
Russ asked him where he got his wood and he told him. He asked him if he could get better wood to help him rebuild his house. The wood man said that he could.
The wood man asked, “Do you need help rebuilding?” The man whose house burned answered that he did.
The wood man haltingly said that he used to be in construction but there had been no jobs recently and he would be glad to help.
Russ and Mary looked at him and each other. Everything would be fine.

This is the sort of help one needs, I do hope there are no strings attached
