As the bus slowed down at the crowded bus stop, the bus conductor leaned from the platform and called out, “Six only!” The bus stopped. He
counted out six passengers, rang the bell, and then,as the bus moved off, called to those left behind: “So sorry, plenty of room in my heart — but the
bus is full.” He left behind a row of smiling faces.It’s not what you do; it’s the way that you do it.
