The next morning I got up very early. It was dark and everyone was asleep. But I was going to Darpur.

　　I washed and dressed carefully. I put on my best clothes and carried my best stick. I put the money order carefully in my pocket and said goodbye to Martha.

　　I walked ten miles to the main road. I sat down at the main road and ate my breakfast.

　　I waited for the bus for about two hours. The bus came and I got on.

　　It is a long way to Darpur. The bus takes three hours. I arrived in Darpur and walked to the post office directly. I don't often go to Darpur. I only know the market, and one shop. This is the shop of Rick. I buy things for my farm from Rick.

　　There were a lot of people in the post office. I asked about money orders. A man showed me the queue. There was a long line of people and I waited at the back.

　　Finally it was my turn：I was at the front of the queue. But the man at the desk took no care of me.

　　“Excuse me,” I said. “It's my turn. I'm next.”

　　“You are next? Old man, I'm very busy,” the man said. “Look at my papers. Look at all these people. I am very busy. And you must wait.”

　　So I waited. Finally the man looked at me.

　　“What do you want?”

　　I gave him my money order. “This is my money order for one hundred pounds,” I replied.

　　The man held out his hand. “ID Card,” he said.

　　“Excuse me. I don't understand. What is an ID Card?” I replied.

　　“Your ID Card gives your name and your address. Your ID Card describes you. There is a photo of you in your ID Card. I can't give you any money for this money order if you don't show me your ID Card.”

　　“But I don't have an ID Card. Where can I buy one?” I asked.

　　The man did not speak to me. He gave no answer, And I didn't know what to do then.

　　John Russell, aged 83, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that senior citizens(老年公民) could ride for half the cost. When he dropped his three quarters into the box, the driver asked him for identification(身份证明). John took out an ID card. “You need a special CTA card,” said the driver. John did not have the CTA card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.

　　“Put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.” John said, “Give me back my quarters, and I'll get off.” “I can't－it's in the box. If you don't get off, I'll call the police,” said he, which he did.

　　Two police cars drove over and stopped. “I'm the criminal(罪犯),” said John Russell. Then he and the driver told their stories.

　　“That's what you called me for?” one policeman asked the driver. Another policeman then said to John, “I'll give you three quarters.” John shook his head, “Why should you give me the quarters? He has to give me my quarters.”

　　“Where are you going?” asked the policemen. “Downtown to have lunch with friends,” John said. “Come on,” the policemen said. “We'll get you your card.” So they took him downtown to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn't give him a CTA card－he needed a picture. “What about his quarters?” one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and the decision was made to give John's quarters back.

　　When John got downstairs, the policemen asked where he was going. “To see my friends,” John said. “How are you going to get there?” “On the bus. And all I'm going to pay is 75 cents.” “Good luck,” the policemen said.

　　John got on a bus, dropped three quarters in the box, and said, “I'm a senior citizen…” The driver looked at John and nodded. He didn't know how lucky he was to be a sensible(通情达理的) man.
