The Late Night Ride

Scott was driving home late one night when he saw a young lady waiting by a bus stop. He stopped his car and told her that he didn't think the buses were running so late at night and offered her a ride. The fall night air was getting chilly, so he took off his jacket and gave it to her. Scott found out that the girl's name was Jenny and she was on her way home.

After an hours drive, they arrived at her home and he dropped her off by the front door. Scott said goodnight and went home himself.

The next day he remembered that Jenny still had his jacket.

He drove to her house and knocked on the door, an old woman answered. Scott told her about the ride he had given her daughter Jenny, and had come back to get the jacket he had lent her. The old woman looked very confused.

Scott noticed a picture of Jenny on the fireplace mantel. He pointed to it and told the old woman that that was the girl he had given a ride to.

With her voice shaking, the old woman told Scott that her daughter had been dead for many years and was buried in a cemetery about an hours drive away from there.Scott ran to his car and drove to the cemetery....

He found his jacket, neatly folded on top of a grave...the name on the gravestone was Jenny!
