"No. You can't get on without money. Please get off. I really need to get going," Jeffrey, the bus driver, impatiently told a girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She was around seven years old, and Jeffrey wasn't in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day.
"Please, sir. I want to visit my grandma," the girl begged. "Then go and ask your parents for the money and come back next time," Jeffrey replied. The girl finally left the bus, upset. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off. "My goodness! What have I done?" he asked himself regretfully later.
He finished his route and went home, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting on the sofa to rest. He got his phone out to surf the Internet mindlessly. One local man had shared a picture that made him surprised. It was a picture of the little girl he had just refused an hour earlier. The word "Missing" was written on top of the picture. Shocked, he read further and learned the girl had left home and disappeared a day before. Her parents were anxious, trying to find her.
Jeffrey's back went cold. This girl was missing, and he had just kicked her out of the bus. "What have I done?" he said to himself. Immediately, he stood up and went to the front door, putting his shoes on hurriedly. "Where are you going?" Greta asked, coming out of the kitchen.
"Quick! Call 911 and this number," Jeffrey said, showing her the picture of the girl on his phone. "I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, but I turned her away because she didn't have enough money. I'm going to find her." "OK, which bus stop exactly?" she asked, and he explained. Greta then called the police and the girl's parents immediately.

Jeffrey then asked the girl gently, "Did you escape from your home? Where were you going?"
