On a cold evening, bus driver George Harris was running late. He threw out an old woman who couldn’t pay her fare because he was angry. She said she lost her wallet and phone, but George told her she wasn’t important.
Later, George found the woman’s picture at the home of his fiancée Angelica’s parents. Millie, Angelica’s grandmother, came over shaking. After George said no, a nice stranger gave her his phone.
When Millie saw George, she told him about her experience. Angelica took off her engagement ring in shock. She told him, “I don’t know who you are.” Angelica knew what she wanted even though George begged her to forgive him.
Something nice could have made all the difference. Being mean cost George his love. Don’t ever doubt the power of kindness.
As the snow fell, George’s sorrow could be heard through the empty streets, which stood for lost love. His heart, which used to be full of hope, is now broken. One moment of anger changed his fate for good.
Would George turn things around? Time would tell. For now, the sight of Angelica’s tears kept coming back to him. A hard lesson learnt: being kind doesn’t cost anything, but being mean does.
