A DRIVED DEFENDED THE YOUNG BOY, WHO DIDN’T GAVE UP HIS SEAT FOR AN OLD WOMAN

–Story of the Day–

Timmy, is a 40-year-old bus driver from Chicago, Illinois. As always, on the morning, many people had step in his bus. It was a snowy winter morning. Because of that, there were many people who were boarding the bus, than usual.

With the fullness of his bus, he decided to go faster than usual. While he was focusing on the road, he had heard from the back of the bus, “I don’t know what’s wrong with the kids these days! How can they be so rude?”

As he looked through the rear mirror, he couldn’t see the shouting man, but the bodies of his passengers.

Then again, the voices raised from the back, a lady said, “I wonder how his mother raised him. Can’t he see that the poor lady is in trouble? She’s been standing for so long!”

Then he saw a woman in her twenties, shouting to someone, but he couldn’t see her aim, and when he looked again, he saw that woman was shouting to a 10-year-old boy, Jonathan.

He was looking to the people who were shouting at him furiously, as he was shocked.

“What’s wrong with you, boy?” that woman said again.

“Look at those big eyes just staring at us! Don’t you have basic manners?”

“I know, right,” some other said.

“I hate that these kids don’t even have sympathy for the older people. What a mannerless child! This old woman has been standing here for so long but just look at that unsympathetic brat!”

“You’re absolutely right!” said someone other.

“These days, parents give their children far too much freedom and don’t even teach them how to behave with the elderly.”

Older woman spoke that time, and said, “Well, I really feel sorry for the young children. I don’t mind standing here, but I’m struck by how he’s listening to everything we’re saying to him while acting as if he doesn’t understand anything. It’s really unfortunate.”

“It’s his parents’ fault, ma’am,” said the woman in her twenties.

“If I were his mother, I would teach him right away how to treat the elderly! What a shameless kid!”

After a while, Timmy had enough and stopped the bus with his anger.

“What’s wrong with you?” said a man to Timmy.

“Do you want to kill all of us? Can’t you drive properly?”

“It’s such a weird day! I swear!” said a woman, and added, “First of all, the bus is crowded like anything and then all of this….”

“But it’s not my fault,” Timmy said.

“You’ve been arguing so loudly that I can’t concentrate on driving. And why are you people yelling at that little boy to take a seat? Perhaps you could be a little more sympathetic to him.”

“You don’t have to defend him for his wrongdoings,” an older man said.

“Because of people like you, he’ll just keep being arrogant the way he is.”

“But, ma’am…” said Timmy, and cut off as, “Keep your eyes on the road. At the very least, learn how to do your job properly.”

“I’m doing my duty, ma’am,” Timmy said.
“Perhaps you could do yours as well! You can’t pass judgment on the boy if you don’t know his entire story.”

“I’ll tell you what, stop the bus right now! I’ll leave if this boy doesn’t get off the bus.” Said old woman.

Timmy didn’t listened the old woman, and drove until he saw a bus station.

Then he went to the side of Jonathan. He had a conversation with him through the sign language, then he proceed and explain the story.

“That boy is mute and limps, ma’am. His mother is a single parent. The boy travels in my bus almost every day. I know him well.” Said Timmy.

“Oh, dear!” said the older woman.

“I’m so sorry. I had no idea that boy was mute. Do you know where his mother lives?” she asked.

“I would like to apologize to her.”

“Sure, ma’am. And next time, please don’t judge someone just like that. I hope others understand this too,” Timmy said.

As the older woman went to the house of Jonathan, she found out that with his mother, Jonathan was living in terrible conditions.

Felicia, the older woman, had decided to help the poor family of Jonathan, and created a GoFundMe page for him, and his mother.
