An hour at the roadside
A bus driver in Rostock sees an older woman on his route who has fallen in the road and has a head wound. He stops and stays with her for an hour until the ambulance arrives. Her granddaughter later says that her grandmother speaks hardly any German and probably would not have taken the injury seriously on her own.
The granddaughter enters him in the competition “Germany’s Favourite Bus Driver”, and out of more than 3,000 entries he wins his category. At the award ceremony in Berlin he sees the woman and her granddaughter again, and the three want to stay in touch.
Has anyone ever helped you when you couldn’t make yourself understood in a foreign language?
