　　Last July, Mr Johnson's 12 year old car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before the sun went down, and he was 25 miles from home. He couldn't reach anyone to pick him up, so he decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes(路线), he thought he'd just head east. A bus pulled up, and he asked the driver how far she was going, "Four more lig hts", she said. There was another bus he could take from there. "This clearly was going to be a long night." Mr Johnson said to himself.

　　She dropped Mr Johnson off at the end of her route and told him which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, he began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and he was surprised to find that it was the same driver.

　　"I just can't leave you here," she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home."

　　"You'll drive me home in the bus?" he asked, perplexed(困惑的).

　　"No, I'll take you in my car," she said.

　　"It's a long way," he protested.

　　"Come on," she said. "I have nothing else to do."

　　As they drove from the station in her car, the driver began telling him a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. "I'm just passing the favor along," she said.
