Barnett was a musician who played mostly in small clubs in the American South. One night when he was on the way to perform, he was driving in an expensive car when it got a flat tyre on a lonely road. As it turned out, his jack was also broken, so it was impossible to change the tyre. He tried to get other drivers to stop and help him, but it was no use. After several hours, a young man driving an old pick-up truck stopped to help. When he offered to pay the man, he answered, “If you want to pay me back, next time you see somebody who needs a helping hand, you help that person and think of me.” This memory stuck with Barnett. Years later, he wrote a book called Chicken Soup for the Country Soul. The book included a short story inspired by this incident, but many of the details were changed. Rory Lee Feek (born 1965) later used this story for the song “The Chain of Love”. Cultural Notes Listening （点击播放音频） n. 一连串（人或事）；链子；链条 Listen to a radio show and answer these questions.
