Answer:
A bus experience
Explanation:
I woke up early for school today, a very unusual thing indeed. I hopped on toward the bus depot and found out that there was a long line for the very bus that I'm supposed to take to school. So much for having a nice day! Apparently, the previous bus had faced some mechanical issue on its way there, and the people had to wait for the next bus. People had grown very impatient and restless. Some had to go to work, some had to reach college. People like me had to reach school on time, and I guess nobody dreads reaching late more than students do for the morning assembly. Finally, our bus arrived. It was empty, but the number of people in the line was so high that it got full in no time. The large crowd tried to rush in all at once through the tiny door. Because of the crowd, many people can take advantage, like pickpocketing. I realized it when I myself felt my pocket being touched. I quickly looked around and caught the hand of the offender, only to realize that it was a little girl. Amidst the tangled hair and muddy face, all I saw was a look of innocence on her face. I didn't know how to react. When I came to my senses I scolded her. But, she got frightened and said that she wasn't taking my wallet. She was putting it back. She had seen another older girl steal my wallet and quickly took it back and tried to fix things right.
At that age, one is very honest and pure. One can only wonder what makes such innocent children into criminals.
