An elderly woman boarded a near-empty bus, but the driver refused her due to a lack of a ticket. He harshly demanded she get off, but as she slowly stepped down, she told him, “I gave birth to people like you once. With love. And now I’m not even allowed to sit.” The driver, shaken by her words, watched as passengers began leaving the bus in silence, leaving their tickets behind. The woman walked away into the snow, her dignity radiating.
The next day, the driver couldn’t shake the memory of her. He spent days searching for her, feeling remorse.
