It was a hot summer day. A crowd of people were standing at the station, waiting impatiently for the bus to come, I was one of them. The sunshine was fierce and there was not a slightest hint of wind. People were hoping desperately that the bus would come the next second so that they could get a cool-off.
After what seemed an hour long of waiting, the bus eventually showed up. Even at a distance people began running, eager to get on the bus. I was pushed by the flow of people to the door and it was so crowded that I couldn’t feel anything but people pushing. It was until the bus went on its way that I realized my purse was gone.
Suddenly embarrassed and astonished, I stood there motionlessly, trying to figure out what I should do. I could feel all the people were staring at me with somehow sympathetic and indifferent eyes, which made me even more upset. I realized that not many choices are left to me, either I got off the bus, or I would talk to the driver for a free ride, which I didn’t feel like doing.
As I was in the midst of hesitation and agony, an old man sitting at the corner came up to me and silently put 2 yuan in my hand. I couldn’t help feeling surprised, because he seemed to be the poorest passenger on the bus. I looked at him, speechless. I searched my brain but I was too moved to say anything. In the end I only managed to smile at him and found myself a seat. But at that moment, I knew I would never forget this kind old man and I could never thank him enough. Even if it was only 2 yuan that he gave me, it weighed more than a million pounds. |
More Than A Million Pounds
