One evening last July, my old car broke down on a highway. It was an hour before sunset, and l was
25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus.
After a while, a bus pulled up and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she
said. She dropped me off at the end of her route(线路)and told me which bus to look for. After waiting
30 minutes,I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride homle. Then a bus pulled up and the door
opened.
"Ijust can't leave you here," she said, "I'll give you a ride home."
"You'll drive me home on the bus?"I asked, confused(迷惑不解的)．
"No, I'll take you in my car," she said.
"It's a long way,"I answered.
"Come on, sir," she said,"I have nothing else to do." ,
On the way, she told me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Chinese
man had picked him up, taken him to a gas station and then back to his car. "I'm just passing the favor
along," she said.
When Ioffered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't accept(接受)it. "That wouldn't make it a favor," she said. "Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along."
