I was responding to a call from a small brick flat(用砖做的公寓) in a quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick up some party-goers，or someone who had just had a fight with a lover，or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.
When I arrived at 2：30 a.m., thebuildingwas dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under such circumstances, manydriversjust honk(按喇叭) once or twice，wait a minute，then drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.
Unless a situation smelled of danger，I always went to thedoor.
This passenger might be someone who needsmy assistance，I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute，” answered a frail，elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause，the door opened.A small womanin her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat，like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.
The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, noequipmenton the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
“Would you carry my bag out to the car？” she said. I tookthe suitcaseto the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm, and we walked slowly toward the cab.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
