    I am a middle school student．One day I watched an old lady getting on the bus．She looked very weak and tired，so I got up and offered her my seat．She smiled at me kindly and was just about to sit down when a rude young man quickly took the seat I had left．I almost lost my temper．

“I got up to let this lady sit down．”I cried．“I don’t care what you did．If this seat is free，I can sit here and no one can stop me．I've bought my ticket．Too !” the rude young man said．

All the passengers were angry with the rude young man．Several of them insisted that he should give up the seat，but he refused．Ten minutes later the young man wanted to get off the bus，but two very strong men blocked his way and wouldn’t let him get out of his seat．

    “Too bad．”one of the men said．“Just stay where you are，”the other one said．“If you like this seat so much．you can sit there and enjoy it!”

    The rude young man tried to push his way through but failed．In the end he had to sit there sadly until the bus reached the terminus．
