With his taxi, he hurries through the busy streets every day. One day when he was having a short rest, a young man jumped into his taxi. "To the station as fast as you can," shouted the man in a very unfriendly way. "My train leaves at three o'clock." Mr Hart did his best, but there was a lot of traffic. At every corner there was a red light. "Hurry up, man! I don't want to miss my train," said the young man. "And I don't want to have an accident," replied Mr Hart quickly. While he was driving, Mr Hart suddenly recognized the man's face. He was a thief. The police were looking for him. His picture was in the newspapers. Mr Hart raced through the street and drove through red lights. Soon there was a police car behind him. Mr Hart raced on until he reached the station. He stopped in front of the station at two minutes to three, and the young man quickly jumped out of the taxi. "Stop! Stop!" cried Mr Hart. At that moment the police car stopped, too. "Quick! He is the thief!" shouted Mr Hart. Two policemen rushed into the station. Three minutes later they returned with the young man. "Well done!" a policeman said to Mr Hart as they were taking the thief to the police car.

There was a time when,if a lady got into a crowded bus or train,a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat.But now,things are different.Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy,hide behind his newspaper.Either way,the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.

You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners,though.Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble.A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men,not just equality in jobs or education,but in social life.Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.On second thoughts,that is perhaps not a bad idea.

It’s no wonder,then that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women.On the other hand,the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women,so that men can see women as equal human beings,rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.
