oy work shifts and usually catch the last train home. But one day, he missed it.The time was half past midnight. He pondered over going home. There were 3 options. The options were by bus, by train and by walking home. Roy did not want to walk home, so he eliminated option 3 and chose option 1. 0 He ran out of the train station into a dark, murky road. There was not a soul in sight. Roy crossed the road to the bus-stop to catch the last bus but he missed it by seconds. He flew into a rage because he had a bad &day. Roy’ s boss was very angry with him for being late. He decided to take a taxi but there were none in sight. Then he realised that he had to walk home. As he walked, shadows lurked everywhere. Roy confronted them one by one by shouting at them. “Hey!” “You want a ride?” he jumped a mile. Roy felt very embarrassed and angry. ‘He would think I was a lunatic’ he thought. Roy found out that the person was a trishaw driver. “I wanted a ride home of course.” He told the driver. Along the way, the driver told me about days in olden Singapore. Roy learnt a lot from him and thanked him after he reached home. When Roy walked up the doorsteps, he found out that he had forgotten to pay for the ride. But the driver was gone.
