In 1991, I was travelling in Paris with my wife, three young children and almost no knowledge of the French language. Our train to the airport made an unexpected stop. The announcement in French was completely unintelligible to us. Another passenger, standing on the platform, recognized our predicament, came into the train, explained through hand gestures that our train was out of service and then waited with us on the platform to ensure that we boarded the right train to continue our trip.
I'm sure there have been New Yorkers who were as helpful, but one Frenchman did us a courtesy that we seek often to repay.
