Last July, my 12-year-old car died on Californias Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldnt reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured Id just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. Four more lights, she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
I just cant leave you here, she said. This isnt the nicest place. Ill give you a ride home.
Youll drive me home in the bus? I asked, perplexed(困惑).
No, Ill take you in my car, she said.
Its a long way, I protested.
Come on, she said. I have nothing else to do.
As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. Im just passing the favor along, she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldnt hear of it. That wouldnt make it a favor, she said. Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.
