The latest Chicken Soup for the Soul Friday is by a courageous young man. 

“I was filling up gas at a gas station, when I suddenly heard loud noises and shouting. I immediately turned around to see two men at it with each other. One man was clearly physically stronger than the other. This stronger man was yelling and shoving his face into the smaller man’s face.

The fight seemed to be getting serious by the second, with both hurling abuses at one another, but I could also see the smaller man step back in fear. Many people were around, but no one did a thing. The larger man kept getting louder and stepping closer to the other guy. I realized then that a physical altercation could literally break out any second, and I was afraid this man would seriously hurt the smaller guy.

So, though I was scared, I walked up to them and literally stood in the middle, trying to calm them both, especially the larger guy. Luckily, he calmed down and both walked to their cars. And I took a huge breathe of air and resumed filling up gas. Boy, was I glad they backed out! Otherwise, I may have gotten in the middle of it…”
