An old man got onto the bus, <br />holding his free-ride card, <br />thinking that it was still valid. <br />The bus driver made a harsh scolding blitz, <br />after finding out the expiry date had long been passed, <br />causing the old man very embarrassed. <br />For 11 NT$ for bus-fare the driver adamantly asked. <br />At that moment a school girl came to his rescue. <br />The old man was a stranger she never knew. <br />Out of her pocket 11 $ she drew, <br />and gave it to the driver, <br />who still was yelling in a rude manner, <br />asking the old man to get out of the bus. <br />Her action made him feel shameful in a blush. <br /> <br />The next day the old man wrote a letter to the school principal, <br />telling about what happened exactly in total. <br />She did it not for fame. <br />She knew not doing a random act of kindness was a shame. <br />She came from a poor family, <br />but she knew how to be pity. <br />She was then known as a good Samaritan, <br />setting a good example among her friends. <br /> <br />(dedicated to Hung Chin Yar, a 18 year-old high school student, living <br />in Taichung, Chin Shwe township)<br /><br />U Win Kyi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-random-act-of-kindness-1-paying-the-bus-fare/
