The ticket inspector radioed Peterborough station and told


them to make the train to Leeds wait for Bernard.
5 2)) The ticket inspector touched my arm. 'Listen; he said 'when we get to
Peterborough station, run as fast as you can to platform 1. The Leeds train will be
there.' I looked at him, without really understanding what he had said. 'What do
you mean?' I said. 'Is the train late or something?' 'No, it's not late: the ticket
inspector said. 'I've just radioed Peterborough station. The train is going to wait
for you. As soon as you get on, it'll leave. The passengers will complain, but let's
not worry about that. You'll get home, and that's the main thing.' And he walked
away.
I suddenly realized what an amazing thing he had done. I got up and went after
him. I wanted to give him everything I had, all the money in my wallet - but I
knew he would be offended. I grabbed his arm. 'I... er ... just wanted to ....', but I
couldn't continue.
'It's OK,' he said. 'No problem.' 'I wish I had a v1ay to thank you; I said. 'I really
appreciate what you've done.' 'No problem,' he said again. 'Listen, if you want to
thank me, the next time you see someone in trouble, help them. That will pay me
back. And tell them to do the same to someone else. It'll make the world a better
place.'
When the train stopped, I rushed to platform 1 and sure enough the Leeds train
was there waiting, and a few hours later I was with my mum in hospital.
Even now, years later, whenever I think of her, I remember the Good Ticket
Inspector on that late-night train to Peterborough. It changed me from a young
man who was nearly a criminal into a decent human being. I've been trying to
pay him back ever since then.
d. 1 He had to run to platform 1.
2 He was very happy and wished he had a way to thank the ticket
inspector.
3 He asked Bernard to help the next person he sees who is in trouble and t
hen to tell them to do the same to someone else.

Page 87. 8. 5 9)) Karma
Come on
Come on
Come on
Weren't you the one who said
That you don't want me anymore
And how you need your space
And give the keys back to your door
And how I cried and tried
And tried to make you stay with me
But still you said your love was gone
And that I had to leave
Chorus
(Now you) talking 'bout a family
(Now you) saying I complete your dream
(Now you) saying I'm your everything
You're confusing me, what you say to me
Don't play with me, don't play with me, 'cause ...
What goes around, comes around
What goes up, must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me?
What goes around, comes around
What goes up, must come down
Now who's crying, desiring, to come back?
I remember when I was sitting home alone
Waiting for you 'til three o'clock in the morn
And when you came home
You'd always have some sorry excuse
Half explaining to me
Like I'm just some kind of a fool
I sacrificed the things I want
Just to do things for you
But when it's time to do for me
You never come through
Chorus
Night after night knowing something going on
Wasn't long before I be g-g-g-gone
Lord knows it wasn't easy, believe me
Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me
And never knew what you supposed to do
No need to approach me fool, 'cause I'm over you
What goes around, comes around
What goes up, must come down
Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me
What goes around, comes around
What goes up, must come down
It's called karma baby and it goes around
(Repeat to fade)
