Nobody was looking for me, ?——青夏教育精英家教网—

It was a stormy winter day when Mrs. Spodek made her way to the bus stop with her son who sat in a wheelchair. Finally they arrived.

Ten minutes later a bus came by. Looking down at her son's face, Mrs. Spodek realized that her son could not wait any longer.

The bus stopped and Mrs. Spodek began to lift up the wheelchair. "Hey, lady," called out the driver, "this bus does not have a lift for that wheelchair. You are going to have to wait for the next bus."

"Excuse me, "said Mrs Spodek, "but if I wait any longer my son is going to freeze."

Two passengers jumped down to help the mother and son, making it onto the bus. They tried their best to keep the little boy comfortable, while the bus driver continued complaining about the lady pushing her way onto the bus.

When they sat into their seats, a voice could be heard from the back of the bus, "Hey, lady, you should not worry at all. Your son is not the one with the handicap(残疾). It is the bus driver who has the handicap, lady. His mind is handicapped."

Tears rolled down Mrs. Spodek's frozen cheek.

Thirty minutes later when Mrs. Spodek stepped off the bus, the driver joined in helping the mother and son get off.

Just before the driver turned to go back to the bus he said, "Sony, lady. I was wrong."

Mrs. Spodek said, "Thank you for saying so."

Then looking at the boy in the wheelchair, the bus driver said, "You are lucky to have such a nice mom.

The little boy looked back into the driver's eyes and said, "We were lucky to have such a nice driver."

The driver turned to go back to the bus but Mrs. Spodek heard him start to cry, "What a kid! What a kid!"
