Miss Miller lived beside a church in a small street in a town. She did not have a car.
On Friday she always walked to the bus stop, and then she went to the market and bought food for the next week.
There were usually a lot of people in the bus, but Miss Miller always found a seat.
One of the houses at the corner of Miss Miller's street was empty for a long time,but then a family came and lived in it.
There was a man and his wife and two children.
The children went to school in the bus in the morning.
On Friday Miss Miller went to the house and visited the children's mother.
She said to her, "Good morning. My name's Jane Miller, and I live beside the church in this street. I'm going to the market now. Do you need any food?"
"Good morning," the woman said to her visitor, "you're very kind.
My name's Mary Adams. Yes, I need food for my lunch today and for our supper tonight. And I need some fish for the cat. I don't know the way to the market yet. Can I come with you?"
"Please do," Jane answered.
Mary put her coat on, and the two women went out and walked along to the bus stop.
They waited there, and Jane said to her new friend,
"There's a bus at five minutes to ten. It's always full, but I get a seat."
"Oh? Is that easy?" Mary asked.
Jane smiled and answered, "Wait and you'll see."
The bus came, and the two women got in.
It was full, but Jane said, "Perhaps those two very handsome men will give us their seats."
Six men stood up quickly, and both the women went and sat down in the nearest seats.
