Little girl disappearing in the photo

Buddhist stories 2014-10-14

In the second year of my college years, I started working part-time, going to school during the day and working as a waiter at a bar at night.

On the first day I went to work at the bar and found a strange old man.At eight o'clock in the evening, an old man in ordinary clothes walked into the bar. The old man looked over 60 years old.I went up and asked the old man what wine he wanted.The old man smiled and waved his hand at me, saying that he was not here to drink, and then walked to those who were drinking and asked one by one if he needed a designated driver?Most people waved their hands to the elderly impatiently.The bar owner was a smart man. He called me over and asked me to "invite" the old driver out quickly.I had no choice but to persuade the elderly not to affect the customers' drinking and the bar's business.The old man was very tactful and walked out of the bar without saying anything, but he seemed very unwilling to accept it and stood at the door of the bar and refused to leave.When a customer walked out of the bar, the old man immediately met him, kept saying something, and took out a card the size of a business card for the guests to show.Strangely, most of the guests asked the elderly to drive on behalf of the elderly after reading the elderly cards.

From that day on, every 8 o'clock in the evening, the elderly driver would appear at the bar entrance on time, waiting for the driver to be the driver, and the storm would be the same.I think the old man is old and still comes out to drive, so he must be very poor in life.

A year passed in a blink of an eye.I finally got my degree and found my ideal job without having to work in a bar anymore.That day, I used the money I earned from working to buy a second-hand car. After buying the car, I found a rental house with better conditions online.What I didn't expect was that when I drove to my new residence, I realized that the landlord turned out to be the old driver.Only then did I realize that the elderly have a lot of real estate.I was very puzzled. He could live with just a rent. He was so old, so why did he still have to be a defensive driver for someone?

In the evening, I went to the bar to say goodbye to the boss. In order not to affect the boss's business, I deliberately waited until the bar was about to close before driving over.The boss was very grateful to me and insisted on treating me to drink. It was hard to refuse the affection, so I had to drink two drinks.

When I walked out of the bar with a little dizzy face, I was surprised to find that the old man was still standing at the door. I asked him strangely: "There are no customers in the bar, why are you still waiting here stupidly?”

The old man smiled and said, “I saw you drinking inside, so I kept waiting for you.”

I was a little amused and told him that I only drank a little wine and didn't need a designated driver at all.

But the old man refused to give up: "I have been waiting for you here for most of the day. You won't let me down, right?Besides, we're still on the way.”

No wonder the old man has a good business. Judging from his persistent spirit, it is irresistible.I opened the car door helplessly and asked him to drive.Not to mention, although the old man is a little older, his driving skills are really good and he is very cautious in driving. I took a nap with confidence.

When I arrived at my doorstep, I asked the elderly how much does it cost to get a driver?He smiled and said he drove for me for free.I was a little unbelievable. He waited until the second half of the night and finally convinced me, how could it be for free?I said tentatively again, "Don't be polite, although we know each other, we still have to pay the driver's fee.”

He said seriously: “It’s not just you, but I’m free to drive for others.”

I widened my eyes in disbelief and looked at him tightly.

Seeing me looking confused, he asked me, “Do I look very old?Actually, I am only fifty years old.The reason I got old was because of her."As he said, he took out a photo from his pocket with tears in his eyes, which was a cute little girl.He said that 6 years ago, he drove while drunk and hit a little girl on the road, the little girl in the photo. For this reason, he was in jail for several years, but his inner regret was for life.So, after he was released from prison, he went to the bar door to drive for free for those who had drunk.After saying that, he put a small card in my hand and turned around and left.

The card reads: If you are drinking, don’t drive. Make a phone call and I will drive for you for free.Flipping over the card, the words on the back made my heart tremble, which read: I drove drunk and hit my daughter to death.
