I was on a bus one March evening. The driver didn’tto start the bus soon because it was not yet. A middle-aged woman got on. Tired and sad, she told her story, not to anyone in particular. On her way to the station, half of herwas stolen. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so shestill had some left. A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked. When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect fares(车费). When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, hethat he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home. On hearing this, she ordered the old man to the bus. The old man was almost in tears as heher to let him take the bus home. The driver took the conductor’s side and repeated the conductor’s. The woman was watching the incident.the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she interfered(干预). “Stophim! Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?” “He doesn’t have any money! ” the driver. “Well, that’s noto throw him off the bus,” she insisted. Then she reached inside her blouse, look out her money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here’s his fare and mine. Just stop giving him atime.” All heads turned to the woman. “It’s only money,” she shrugged. She rode the rest of the way homea happy smile, with the money she’d lost earlier. On the road of life, the help of strangers canour loads and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the will be when we make it a little smoother for others!
