The Child Who Forgot His Lunch (Part 2)
A Qiang's Route — a small kindness at the school stop.
路上更多乘客上车了。Along the way, more passengers got on.学生、上班族、奶奶都来了。Students, office workers, and grandmas all came aboard.大家都坐得很安静。Everyone sat quietly.
到学校附近时，一个小男孩上车了。Near the school, a little boy got on.他突然说自己忘了带午餐。He suddenly said he had forgotten his lunch.他说家里人都还在睡觉，没人提醒他。He said everyone at home was still asleep, so no one had reminded him.他快哭了。He was about to cry.
阿强说：“别担心，我在这里等你。”A Qiang said, "Don't worry — I'll wait for you right here."男孩跑回家，又笑着回来。The boy ran home and came back smiling.
