Miss Miller lived beside a church in a small street on the edge of town. She didn't have a car. On Friday she always walked to the bus stop and then she went to the market and bought food for the next week. There were usually a lot of people in the bus, but Miss Miller always found a seat.
One of the houses at the corner of Miss Miller's street had been empty for a long time, but one day a family came to live in it. On Friday morning Miss Miller went to the house to meet her new neighbors. She introduced herself and said. "I'm going to the market now. Do you need anything?" "Miss Miller, " the woman said, you're very kind. I need a lot of things from the market, but I don’t know the way yet. Can I come with you?
“Please do”, Miss Miller answered. The two women went out and walked along to the bus stop. As they waited there, Miss Miller said to her new friend. “Buses this time of day are always full, but I can get a seat.
“Oh? Is that easy? she asked.
Miss miller smiled and answered. "Wait and see.”
The bus came, and the two women got in. It was completely full, but Miss Miller said in a loud, clear voice: Perhaps those two very handsome men will give us their seats. Six men immediately stood up, and the two women sat down in the nearest seats.
