I got to the house, but no one came out. I got out of the taxi, walked up to the door, and knocked.

“Just a minute,” answered someone. After a long time, the door opened. A small old woman stood before me. I took her bag and let her take my arm. Then we moved slowly to the taxi. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to be nice to my passengers, because I want others to be nice to my mother, too.”

When we got in the taxi, she asked, “Could you drive through the city?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered. “Oh, just do it,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(安养院). I don’t have any family left.” For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me a building—she and her family once lived there. Sometimes she asked me to drive slowly in front of some buildings, and she would look at them and say nothing.

We got to the hospice. I took her bag to the door. “How much should I pay you?” she asked, “Nothing,” I answered. Without thinking, I gave her a hug. “You make an old woman happy,” she said. “Thank you.”

I didn’t have any more passengers that day. I just thought about that woman. I’m happy that I helped her. It was a small thing, but it was a great moment in life.
