This story is about a parent, who is sitting in a bus with the daughter, regarding the whole situation. There are two big, strong, white women who are sitting in the fold-up seats in the pram space. Later on a Somali woman comes into the bus with a pram, but the two white women will not move, so the Somali women can place the pram on the pram place. She has to stand up in the aisle, where she blocks for the other passenger, they almost can’t come through. The bus driver, who also is black like the Somali women, gets involved in the problem.

When the time is, for the Somali women to go off the bus, the narrator is helping the Somali women. The Somali women said that the bus driver was a slave. The narrator thinks about what she had said to her, the whole evening the narrator is sitting with the daughter having pizza.

I think that the narrator is a black-middle aged women, who have a daughter called Miriam. The narrator her self, has had a good upbringing, where she has been told that she must treat all people well and help them if they need it and if she could, even if they are white or black. She also raised her own daughter like she has been raised.

We know that the bus driver is a black man. She is a kind human, that want to help other people, we sees that when she offered her seat. But in the end she is very scared for the consequences, after she had offered her the seat she doesn’t do anything, I think that she is scared for the two ladies, that they maybe would hurt Miriam or her and then throw them out of the bus. She will only get problems of that. She felled bad that hers daughter saw the episode, because everything was opposite of what she had raised her daughter to; be nice and helpful to all people.
