Story
,。,!。,。。
This morning I had to take the bus to work. I looked at the time - there was not much left! So I ran to the stop. But by the time I got there, the bus had driven off. I did not catch it.
。,,。
I waited on my own at the stop for the next bus. I kept looking at the time, a little worried, because I had to get to work.
,,。,:?:,。:,,。
Just at that moment, someone walked over and waited for the bus too. He smiled at me and said: Are you waiting for the bus as well? I said: Yes, my bus just left. He said: It is all right, the next bus will come soon, do not worry.
。。,。,。。,。。
We waited for the bus together. We talked about a lot of things. He asked me where I worked, and I asked him too. We talked about work, and about other things too. He was very kind to me. Talking with him, I was really happy. The time passed very quickly.
,。。。。。
Then the bus came. We got on together. He sat beside me. I was not worried any more. Today really was a good day.
