One hot summer, several years ago, my mother and I were taking a trip by train. But first we had to take a bus into the city to the station to catch the train. Since times were hard and money was very tight, we simply could not afford any extras. We packed a large lunch bag of snacks and sandwiches, and had a small cooler filled with sodas to get us through the trip.
There were still many miles from the train station when the bus suddenly completely broke down. The poor driver apologized over and over that they were sending another bus to rescue us.
We were allowed to get off the bus and stand outside, as it was very hot inside the bus. Several of the passengers on the bus were elderly people, and as we waited in the summer heat, my mother became concerned about them.
She told me, "Let's hand out some of these sodas and sandwiches." "But what will we eat later?" I asked. She smiled and told me, "No worries, we will be taken care of one way or another." The other passengers, especially the seniors, were so grateful to get the cold sodas and sandwiches, which surely made us feel good that we could help! Even I became very happy because the seniors told me that I was the sweetest little gentleman.
When we finally arrived at the station, we were upset to discover that we had missed the train and had to wait until the following day to catch the next one. An impatient woman at the ticket counter (柜台) was handing out discount vouchers (代金券) for meals to some passengers, and my mother asked if we could also have one. "No," she shouted. "Please wait a minute. We were a little taken aback by that, but said nothing. Having handed out most food and drinks, nowhere to live, we could not help worrying about our situation.
