1 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: Welcome to sleep tight stories. Good follows good. There were 2 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: many people at the bus stop. School was over and 3 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: the children were waiting for their boss. There were also 4 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: big people waiting there. Some of the big people were 5 00:00:52,120 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: reading newspapers while others were talking. The children were laughing 6 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: and playing. Everybody was doing something to forget how long 7 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: it was taking the boss to come. But nobody was 8 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: paying attention to the old woman who was asking for 9 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,279 Speaker 1: Boss Fair. Please somebody help me with a buss fair, 10 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: said the old woman, over and over again. After a while, 11 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: Willie came to the bus stop to take the boss. 12 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: His school was over and he was going home. He 13 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: soon heard the voice of the old woman asking for 14 00:01:54,120 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: Boss Fair. Willie saw her standing and holding out her hands, 15 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: but he could see that no one was paying any 16 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: attention to her. Everybody was talking, reading, laughing, or playing. 17 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: Willie stood there looking at the old woman. She was 18 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: very old and held her back with one hand. He 19 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: was sorry for the old woman. She looked too old 20 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: to walk very far. One day I will be very 21 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: old too, thought Willy, and I might need help like 22 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: this old woman. Will people help me when I am old? 23 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Willy stood there for a while, looking at the old woman. 24 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: I wish I could help her with a fair thought, Willie, 25 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: but I only have my own bus fare. After a 26 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: long time, the boss came. Everybody ran to the door 27 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: and pushed. They nearly pushed down the little old woman 28 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: as she held out her hand. Will somebody please help 29 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: me with a buss, fair, said the old woman, as 30 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: everybody pushed to get into the boss. Willie wanted to 31 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: get into the boss, but when he looked back at 32 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: the old woman, he could not move. Everybody was leaving 33 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: her at the bus stop. He felt very sorry for her. 34 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: Then Willie thought quickly, she cannot walk very far. She 35 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: is too old. But I am young and strong. I 36 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: cannot be like the others who are not paying any 37 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: attention to her. If I walk, I will soon reach home. 38 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: It would be fun too. Nearly all the people had 39 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: gone on to the bus. Willie walked over quickly to 40 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: the old woman. Here is a bus, fair miss, he said, 41 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: come quickly and let me help you into the bus 42 00:04:51,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: before it moves off. Willie held her hand and followed 43 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: her to the door of the bus. As she sat down, 44 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: she looked back and smiled, May God bless you, my son. 45 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: She said, may you live and never want The bus 46 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: bell rang and the door shut. Then the bus moved off, 47 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: leaving Willie standing alone at the bus stop. Willie started 48 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: to walk home. He walked on the back roads this way. 49 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: His walk was not very long. Soon he was home. 50 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Many days passed and Willie had almost forgotten about the 51 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 1: old woman. One day, he wanted to reach home early, 52 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: so after school, Willie ran quickly to the bus stop. 53 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: As he ran, he saw a bus. The people at 54 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: the stop were getting into the bus. He did not 55 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: want it to move off and leave him, so he 56 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: ran quickly and jumped into the bus. He did so quickly, 57 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: and then he forgot to look at the number. After 58 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: riding for a while, Willie looked out the window. He 59 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: saw that the bus was driving on a road he 60 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: did not know. Oh, I must be on the wrong bus, 61 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: Willie said to himself. He quickly rang the bell and 62 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: got off at the next stop. Now I do not 63 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: have any money to take another bus, said Willie. He 64 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: started walking down the road. He did not know where 65 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: he was going or how he would get bus fair 66 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: Soon he came to a market. I must go into 67 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: the market and ask some one to tell me how 68 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: I can find my way home, he thought, so he 69 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: walked into the market and looked around. He saw an 70 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: old woman and a boy selling fruits in the corner. 71 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: The woman was sitting and looking down into her basket. 72 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: Willie walked over to the old woman and the little boy. Please, miss, 73 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: he said, can you tell me how I can get 74 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: to White Road. The old woman looked up at him slowly. 75 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: To Willie's surprise, it was the same old woman he 76 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: had helped at the bus stop. But wait, she said, 77 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: you are the little boy who helped me one day 78 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: at the bus stop. You were the only one who 79 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: paid me any attention. Yes, said Willie. How are you? 80 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: I am o kay, said the old woman. And this 81 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: is my grandson, Albert. He helps me with my fruit basket. 82 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: Willie and Albert looked at each other and smiled. What 83 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: are you doing here, said the old woman to Willie. 84 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: Willie began to tell her how he had taken the 85 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: wrong bus and had to get off. He told her 86 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: he did not know where he was and that he 87 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: had no more bus fare. He wanted to know where 88 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: he could walk to home. Oh, I see, said the 89 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: old woman. Well here is enough money to take two 90 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: buses home. Albert will follow you to the bus stop 91 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: to catch the first bus. He will tell you where 92 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: to get off to catch the other bus you need 93 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: to get home. Willie did not know what to say. 94 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: After a while, he smiled. I did not know I 95 00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: would ever see you again, miss, he said, Yes, said 96 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: the old woman. That is how life is. If you 97 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: do good in life, good will follow you. Here are 98 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: some fruits. They are very sweet. Willie was very happy 99 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: that he had done a good thing. He did not 100 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: dream that one day the same person he helped would be 101 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: the one to help him. Willie thanked the old woman 102 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: and said goodbye. Then he and Albert ran off to 103 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: the bus stop.
