¡°The wheels on the bus go round and round¡­¡± she sang. I¡¯d seen her before; she was a regular, like me. Every day I would ride the city bus from Burlington to Saint Michael¡¯s college in Colchester.

On this day I was riding with a friend. We were sitting in the back, observing a tone-deaf(ÒôäµÄ) woman practicing her singing. Not only was her voice unbearable, but she would harass(ɧÈÅ) every person that got on or off the bus. The driver became annoyed.

¡°Ma¡¯am, you¡¯ve got to settle down,¡± he demanded.

The bus ride gave me plenty of time to think about everything. I would imagine what it would be like to have the bus driver¡¯s job. The man is under constant stress, narrowly missing cars while making a turning and paying attention to bus stops.

When we reached our stop, my friend pulled the yellow cord to signal the driver. The bus had a door in the front and in the middle. Since we were sitting in the back, my friend excited through the closer middle one. I, however, walked out through the front, past the singing woman, giving the driver a wave and a ¡°thank you¡±. ¡°You are welcome¡­ have a nice day,¡± he responded, sounding puzzled.

I started walking with my friend. ¡°Why do you always walk out the front? The middle door is right there,¡± she asked.

¡°To say goodbye.¡± I responded. ¡°What?¡± she said. ¡°You¡¯re crazy.¡±

But I don¡¯t think I¡¯m crazy. I have a personal obligation(ÔðÈÎ) to the man who transported me across town. I don¡¯t know his name, but he deserves my respect. So

Located in the Swiss Alps, Bergun is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in Europe. It is so beautiful that photos of it shared on social media may make people that can¡¯t visit it feel depressed, so local authorities banned tourists from taking photos.

It may sound like a joke, but it¡¯s actually a new law approved by its mayor(Êг¤). The justification for the photo ban is that photos of the beautiful village could make people seeing them on social media jealous(¼µ¶ÊµÄ) and depressed. To prevent visitors from taking photos in Bergun, a symbolic €5 fine will be given to those caught breaking the law.

¡°We don¡¯t want to make people outside the community unhappy by sharing social media photos of our landscape, and we warmly invite people to visit Bergun to experience it in person.¡± said the mayor.
