As I was waiting as a crowded bus stop ........
Answers
Answer:
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.
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.
