The chariot awaits

*While teaching junior high summer school one June, I walked into the office and hear a student talking on the telephone.   One of these fine upstanding students was calling for a ride, or so it seemed.  Upon further inquiry, I find that the student is actually calling a cab.  The student’s father told him that he would not be able to give the student a ride home after class, he is to walk home.  The individual decides that the heat and three block distance is far too much to handle after four hours of intense coursework, he should call a cab to deliver him safely and quickly home. The student alerted the business man that he would be patiently waiting out by the street until his chariot was to arrive.
