Taxi

Azriel’s passenger is a pretty old lady. She asks for a ride to the market. - Oh, son, I’m not old enough to walk. - Why do you walk by yourself? Is there no one else? - My husband died a long time ago. My son and daughter-in-law work hard as it is. But they don’t get paid enough. I do what I can to help. - Do you have grandchildren? - Yes… Lesha. But he’s sick. He often has surgeries. That’s why there’s not much money. - I’m sorry. Where did you work? - At the chemical plant. It was a long time ago. Dangerous work. - I understand. - But I got a good pension. I worked hard for a reason. - Do they pay you any benefits? - Yes, we applied… But they didn’t accept it. - Go to court! - How? You need a lawyer. And how do we pay him? The chickens can’t afford it. - Have you tried selling anything? - There’s nothing left. - Don’t you have any other relatives who can help you? - There’s no one left, son. The cab driver nodded understandably. He felt sorry for the old woman. She didn’t deserve this. Any man could not do such a thing. But she could do it. According to society, children should provide for their parents. But there are all kinds of situations, like this. It could happen to anyone. And society doesn’t realize that. Actually, it was strange that no one reached out to this family. Asriel would have been disappointed in people if he hadn’t met pure souls. People who were worthy to carry the title of Human.
