School was over and I was both mentally and英才苑physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of my 36 to get home. Sitting at the front made me 37 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Jane, the driver, tried to break the 38 atmosphere by striking the match of 39 .
I tried to mind manners and 40 listened, but usually I was too busy thinking of my day. On this day, 41 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 42 . I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “what’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 43 the tears, she responded, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowed as she 44 , “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I couldn’t respond. I was 45 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 46 my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, 47 still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to go 48 that.
Suddenly I realized Jane wasn’t only a bus driver. That was 49 her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns, too. I had never thought of her as 50 but a bus driver.
I suddenly felt very 51 . I realized I had only thought of her as 52 as what her purpose was in my life. I paid no attention to Jane because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as 53 .
For all I know, I’m just another person in 54 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 55 not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments to keep. Understanding people is an art.
