We were on our way home, and ended up putting the car in a ditch.
After a while, Mr. & Mrs. Ball came by and said that they would come back after they went to town and get their tractor to pull us out. We're not so good of friends with them, but needed the help.
Ten minutes later the Smiths came by in their 4x4 that had a winch and offered to help us.
"Of course." we replied, "We'd rather not be pulled out by the Balls...."
