However, when the ticket inspector arrived, I suddenly realised my ticket was not in my pocket.

In fact, the inspector smiled, checked it quickly, and told me to be more careful next time.

As a result, I had to explain the situation to the inspector, and he listened carefully.

Before I left, my sister warned me that the buses to Brighton were often late in winter.

Later that day, I thought about how kind strangers can be, especially when you feel embarrassed.

Meanwhile, I put my suitcase in the overhead locker and ordered a hot meal from the café car.

Then the woman sitting opposite me spoke up and said she had seen a ticket fall onto the floor earlier.

As a result, the inspector thanked us for helping him and said we could travel for free all week.
