Nine
A young man and his wife were on a road trip to visit his mother. It was getting dark, so he decided to look for a place to stay overnight; they could finish the journey in the morning.
Just off the road, they saw a small house in the woods. So they stopped to ask if a room was available to rent. An elderly man and woman came to the door. It wasn't a motel, they said, but they would be glad to have them stay as their guests. They had plenty of room and would enjoy the company.
The old woman made coffee, brought out some cake, and the four of them talked for a while. Then the young couple were shown to a nice bedroom. They explained to the old couple that they wanted to pay them something for their kindness, but the old man insisted he would not accept money.
The young couple got up early next morning before their hosts had awakened. On a table near the front door,they left an envelope with some money in it for the room.

One night, Mrs Brand saw headlights speeding up the driveway to their home.'Oh no,'she thought,'I don't want visitors now,not now.'But it wasn't a car bringing a visitor.
