After a while, a bus came. But it did not go to my home. The bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver. “When I reached the bus station, I got to know that the bus to your town couldn’t come, so I returned here. I just can’t lave you here,” she said. “Get in my car and I will take you back to your home.” “ It is a long way,” I said. “ Come on , Sir , ”she said . “Let’s go .” On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn’t gas in her car. An old man drove her to a gas station and then back to her car.
