A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening. The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus was travelling by the seashore and I was enjoying the soft wind while watching the sea waves (海浪). After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them in surprise and realized that all the window seats were taken up. They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I took another seat and we parted our ways. I don’t remember whether I got off the bus before them or not. Months passed by. Suddenly one day while I was standing at the same bus stop waiting some time for the bus to arrive I heard a voice. “Excuse me, Uncle.” I looked in the direction of the voice. It was a beautiful young lady. Puzzled, I said, “I do not recognize you.” She said, “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?” Puzzled, I said, “Maybe, but what is so great in that?” She said, “If you had not given your seat that day, perhaps I would have not sat with my friend. By sitting together it helped us bridge a misunderstanding that had been between us forever. Do you know we are getting married next month?” “Good! God bless both of you,” I replied. The young lady again said thank you and went on her journey. I realized the importance of giving that day. 小题1:Why were the young boy and the girl standing on the bus?
