Never get tyred of good deeds

By Mitch Gaynor

MALENY’S Bill Hankinson didn’t think he was doing anything particularly special when he helped a bloke change a flat tyre out the front of his house last week.

After changing said tyre and sending him on his way, Bill thought nothing more of it.

But to his surprise a few days later the same man turned back up at his house.

Bill looked him up and down and said: “You don’t have another flat do you?”

He didn’t, but what he did have was a boot jack he’d handmade especially for Bill as a thankyou gift.

“I didn’t think too much of what I was doing, but this is a lovely gesture,” Bill said.

“It’s a great thought.”

Bill’s wife, Marlene, added: “There’s so many good things happening in the world, you don’t often hear of them, but this is one of them.”
