Many years ago I drove a taxi for extra money mainly from the downtown to the 36 , beside the Greenwood Racetrack..
Each time a taxi drove up to the station, many kids would run along the   37 . One   38   kid would open the passenger door and say, “ 39   , sir.” The passenger would always say thanks and give the kid a   40   . It was a routine that everybody knew.
One day I noticed a boy, who was   41   than most of them but was pushed away by even the smallest kid. He never pushed back.   42   , he would even step aside when others pushed forward. But he never   43   .
Then as I was   44   to the sidewalk, all the other kids were running after a taxi   45 mine. They didn’t notice mine.
The boy saw me and walked toward my taxi. As I pulled up I made sure that I stopped in a 46 with the passenger door right beside him. He   47 the passenger door and said, “Good luck at the track, sir.”
48 , the man did not tip him a quarter. Instead he   49 , “Get out of my way!” He pushed him aside so   50 that the boy fell down and was badly hurt. I got out of my car quickly,   51 find that the man disappeared in the crowd.
So I looked for the kid. I decided to give him $20 for all his   52 . But he was far up ahead, walking out of the station   53 .   54 , I never saw him again. I’d like to find him and tell him that if only he had stuck around a little longer I would have given him a whole $20.
I learned an important lesson from the boy. When things seem so   55 that you are ready to give up, that is the time when things are most likely to turn around for you.
