Two women stood in the aisle of a packed bus, one in an orange dress and one leaning on a cane.
A young man looked up and offered his seat to the woman in orange. She sat down, quietly let the air out of the balloon under her dress, then got back up and pointed the grandmother toward it. The older woman took the seat with both hands still on her cane.
The balloon worked exactly once, and she spent it on the woman who actually needed to sit down.
