我和姐姐吉尔从卫理公会教堂跑出来时，天空中正飘着毛毛雨。
我们一心只想快点回家，玩圣诞老人送给我们和小妹莎伦的玩具礼物。
灰狗长途汽车会在教堂对面的泛美加油站停靠。
因为那天是圣诞节，加油站没营业。
但我发现有一家人站在紧闭的加油站门外，他们挤在狭窄的檐篷下，尽量避免被雨淋湿。
我的脑海中突然闪现出一个问题：他们为什么要站在那儿呢？但在我追赶吉尔时，这个疑问很快便被抛之脑后了。
其实到家后根本没时间让我们尽情摆弄礼物，因为我们马上要去爷爷奶奶家共进一年一度的圣诞大餐。
在我们的车路过刚才那个街区时，我看到那家人仍站在紧闭的加油站门外。
在公路上爸爸的车速很慢。
越接近去爷爷奶奶家的岔路口，车子就越慢。
突然，爸爸在公路中间，转了个弯，原路返回，他说：“我实在不忍心！”
“什么？”
妈妈问他。
“那几个站在泛美加油站门外淋雨的人，他们还带着小孩呢。
今天是圣诞节，我怎么能忍心。”
