  • Could never do this without you.

  • So I want us all to imagine something.

  • Imagine you just went out to dinner with your friends or your family or whoever.

  • Imagine it was a good meal, tasty meal.

  • Imagine you had a really good time there.

  • You know,

  • the staff of the restaurant only sung Happy Happy Birthday to seven people around you on this particular trip.

  • And as you're exiting the restaurant and you're heading out to your car, you hear a sound,

  • you look over to your right and you're shocked to see a little girl,

  • maybe four or five years old, lying in the gutter, crying, bleeding out of her head.

  • Looks terrified.

  • You look around and nobody's really helping her.

  • She doesn't seem to have any parents around getting help.

  • What would you do if you're in that situation?

  • Would you stop and try to help the girl?
