Encounter with a stranger in Paris.Roisin, a 19 year old girl from the west of Ireland was working in Zurich in Switzerland. During the summer her 11 year sister arrived in Zurich for a holiday. Roisin purchased two return train tickets to Paris, where they had made plans to meet a family friend. When they arrived in Paris the family friend didn't turn up, the girls only had a little money, so they booked and paid in advance for bed and breakfast accommodation. The accommodation turned out to be a very dodgy hotel in a high rise apartment block with graffiti on the walls, the girls literally ran out of the place in the early morning.
They got a lift by car to the The Champs-Élysées, the only place they knew in Paris. With no money or accommodation and the return train four days away, the girls sat dejected on the steps of the Arc de Triomphe. Two men approached and the girls explained their story, one of the men said "Come with me", and took them to a fabulous hotel overlooking the Arc de Triomphe, he paid for three nights accommodation and meals and gave them spending money.
Roisin's mother later contacted the man and invited him to Ireland, it turned out that the man's own daughter had a similar experience in Poland and that was why he had been so generous. This is a wonderful example of the Universal Favour Bank in operation, the man's daughter had received an advance from the Favour Bank, when she was rescued by a stranger in Poland. When the man got the opportunity, he gladly repaid the loan.
This story was told by Roisin on Irish Radio on 30th June 2007.
