a long wait for the bus

Hey mate

A long wait for the bus

I was standing in the bus stop. It was a long wait for the bus and all the people including me were getting impatient. Added to that, the hot sun made us quite tired in the morning. The already large crowd was becoming bigger. Finally, the bus arrived with a lot of passengers already in it. There was a lot of confusion as everyone was busy pushing each other to get into the bus.



The overfull bus started moving forward at a fast pace. There was hardly any space for a person to stand comfortably and most of the time, a passenger kept bumping into the person in front of him/her. Suddenly, I felt the pocket of my jeans being touched from behind. However, when I turned back, I could not find any person whom I could possibly suspect. I thought that I must have been mistaken and started looking in front of me once again. However, after about five minutes, I felt the same hand once again. I was about to look back once again when another idea struck me.


I quickly moved my hand backwards and caught the hand that was on my jeans pocket. Then, I turned back and made the conductor stop the bus. When he came to me, I explained everything. The thief denied but when other passengers checked him, my purse was with him. The passengers directed the bus to the nearest police station and handed him over to the police.
