Boy Defended A Poor Woman On The Bus. The Next Morning, A Mercedes Went To His School!
“There it is and now she can get on the bus,” He said in a firm voice that contrasted with his age and with a disgusted look at the man.
The boy returned to his seat feeling a mixture of anger and pride. He felt anger at the inhuman way the driver was treating the woman and pride at having done the right thing.
His little heart was pounding, not so much at the loss of his lunch money but at the intensity of what he had just done. It was a small gesture that marked not only his day but who he was becoming: a great young man.
And so the bus went on, carrying with it a story of courage and humanity in the middle of a gray morning. After little Arthur’s act of courage, all the passengers were plunged into a surprised and amazed silence.
The driver, speechless, was still stunned by the child’s audacity. People exchanged glances with each other, murmuring about the little one’s attitude.
The woman, now allowed to continue her journey, went to sit beside her savior. Her eyes still bore traces of tears, but there was a new sparkle in them, a mixture of relief and gratitude.
“I can’t thank you enough little buddy,” She said, her voice still shaky.
The boy, with a maturity that seemed beyond his years, took a handkerchief out of his backpack and offered it to her to dry her face.
“It’s okay nobody should be treated like that,” He replied simply.
The little boy then shared his own experience with the driver, recalling a day when his father Robert was 10 cents short. He remembered how they were scolded and humiliated by the heartless man and forced to get off the bus and walk all the way home.
The woman listened, her expression alternating between shock and sadness, but she insisted that she would somehow repay the boy for his kindness. While they talked, the world outside continued its course.
The bus moved through the streets, passing buildings, stores, and more stops. People got on and off, each immersed in their own lives and stories, oblivious to the small act of kindness that took place inside that vehicle.
The conversation between Arthur and the woman was brief but meaningful. He told her his name, and she gave him a gentle smile.
Soon the little one’s stop arrived, and he waved goodbye and got off the bus, walking with firm steps towards the little school. The woman followed his journey through the window until he was out of sight, her heart still warmed by the little boy’s selfless gesture.
But as Arthur walked away, completely oblivious to the impact of his actions, the girl remained on the bus staring at him. No one there could have guessed who she really was.
She wasn’t just a figure in trouble, a poor homeless woman, or a scammer as the driver had suggested. Her true identity was something that would leave everyone, especially the driver and Arthur, completely petrified of the events that would follow.
And so as the bus went on its way, each passenger took a piece of this story with them, not knowing how extraordinary it would become. The boy spent the day at school with an empty stomach, remembering the pizza he had so long to buy.
Despite his hunger, he didn’t regret his attitude because he knew it was the right thing to do. When he returned home, he shared the story of the bus with his father.
Robert listened attentively, and his eyes shone with a mixture of pride and emotion.
“Your mother would be very proud of you,” He said, his voice carrying a sweetness tinged with sadness.
The man hugged his son tightly and then opened his wallet, giving him $10.
“Here son for you to buy that slice of pizza tomorrow and there will still be some money left for the other days,” Said his father.
Arthur jumped for joy, hugging him in gratitude, and Robert continued.
“You see buddy good things are always rewarded,” Robert said.
He tried to keep his tone light and hopeful, even though he knew that money was precious. However, they both had no idea how great the reward that was yet to come would be.
The next day, Robert took Arthur to school. Unfortunately, the man had been told that he hadn’t got the job as a delivery man because he was considered older than the other candidates, even though he was only 37.
This made him sad and worried about how he would support his son, especially now that he needed a job more than ever after the death of his wife. Robert was plunged into despair.
His son was only 3 years old at the time, and the next six years were marked by struggles and uncertainties. His father worked odd jobs and dropped out of college, giving up his degree in automation engineering to devote himself entirely to raising Arthur.
That morning, after dropping the boy off at school, Robert went to talk to the principal about his son’s financial situation. Arthur had a scholarship at the private school, but it was about to end.
Without a new scholarship or a stable job, the man feared he would no longer be able to keep his son in the school. However, while the little boy was settling down in the classroom and the man was dealing with financial matters, a very fancy Mercedes pulled up in front of the school.
The gates opened, and a serene figure stepped out of the car. It was the woman from the bus of the day before.
The woman who got out of the luxury car was the embodiment of elegance and mystery. Her elegant figure and sophisticated clothing caught everyone’s attention at school, contrasting with the desolate image she presented on the bus.
She walked up to the reception desk with an aura that swung between authority and gentleness, attracting looks of admiration and curiosity. When she asked about Arthur and where he lived, there was an urgency in her voice.
She felt a need to connect with the boy who had shown her that unexpected kindness. The school, protective of its students, was obviously hesitant as they didn’t know what a stranger wanted with him.
