Bravery on the Bus

Today, a young boy showed tremendous bravery onboard a currently affordable public transport, which was the bus. He looked just like any other boy, wearing a t-shirt, shorts and slippers. Upon hailing the bus, the boy started to board it, and pressed his card on the reader. Nothing brave about that.

But there was more drama to unfold. Witnesses said that the beeper gave that annoying 'pay cash' beeping noise. However, to onsitters' and boarding public's suprise, there was an additional, audible 'pay cash, pay cash' sound.

'Pay cash, pay cash', the phrase repeated itself. Looking around, it was actually the bus driver, motioning to the boy to, well, pay cash. The boy tried the oh-i-hope-i-can-trick-the-bus-driver by tapping on the reader, and replied to the refrain of 'pay cash' with a nonchalant 'no cash'. Most were stunned at the bravery that the boy displayed. He went up to the upper deck, and following him, it was seen that he sat right at the end, obviously to avoid early detection by the non-musically inclined conductor.

The bus proceeded on with its schedule, and unfortunately for some, no conductor boarded the bus. Thus, it is proven that when you are young, you can get away with virtually anything. And young kids don't lie, much. No cash means... no cash.
