Two men noticed a woman was paying for her petrol using pennies. They stepped in and offered to help her out by paying the bill for her, giving her a handful of cash to make life a little easier.

The woman then broke down in tears and told the men her husband died only a week ago and she was finding it hard to cope. She thanked the men and one replied, "It's only right, we've got to stick together."

The woman says, "How can I repay you?" and the man replied,
"You don't have to replay me, that's for you." His friend also says, "Pay it forward."

A clip of the story has gone viral and the man has been identified as American comedian Carlos Davis. People on twitter have been praising the actions of the two men, one said, "We've got to take care of each other. That's what America needs right now."
