night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I
found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door
opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small
suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car,
and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward
the car.
She kept thanking me for my
kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother
treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got
into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s
not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor
says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut
off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove
through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the
neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a
ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a
particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired.
Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address
she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other
passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent
and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little
moment of joy.”
