I walked on and soon found the cause — a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the drivers face as he tried to start the engine again and again — nothing happened. No petrol, I said to myself and then found myself getting angry. Why doesnt the fool move his taxi to the side? I thought, so did all the others who honked and shouted. He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt, who watched the driver try to push it to the side. Stupid guy! I said. Cant he lend a helping hand? I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒骂 ) the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off. The taxi driver began mending his taxi. Stupid passenger! I said to him. He didnt help you! The taxi driver slowly got up. Sir! he asked, Did you? I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, Did I help the poor man push his taxi? What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did I help the poor man push his taxi? I’d done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved to solve the problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, Sir! Did you? 56. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park?
