Justly Punished

Justly Punished

There were too many people on the bus for comfort and passengers were standing in the aisle. A young woman that was carrying a baby was very grateful when an old man offered her his seat. The baby was fast asleep and she could now rest him on her lap. She thanked the old man very much and was just going to sit down when a rude young man sat in the empty seat. Everyone was painfully embarrassed, and the young mother was too surprised to say anything. All the passengers really disapproved of the man's action. They were extremely angry with him, but he paid no attention. Much later, the rude man wanted to get off the bus and tried to push past the passengers. They all stood closely together and would not let him move. He was made to stay on the bus till it reached its terminus, a punishment he richly deserved.
