Baby boards a bus alone – level 3

Baby boards a bus alone

04-07-2023 15:00

A one-year-old baby climbed aboard a bus on his own in Central China. Neither the passengers or the bus driver could see if an adult was taking care of the toddler, and the bus driver pulled over and called police for help.

Passengers volunteered to take care of the baby until the police got there. Officers managed to track down his parents an hour later with the mother saying that her little boy was playing outside her cell phone store when she realised that he had gone off somewhere.

Difficult words: toddler (a young child who is just beginning to walk), volunteer (offer help without pay), trackdown (to find).

What prompted the passengers to volunteer to take care of the one-year-old baby while they were waiting for the police to arrive?
