Eddie and Michael got on the bus together and noticed an empty seat. They started arguing over who should sit there. "I'm younger, so I should sit," Eddie argued. "But I look younger and have more stamina, so I'll give you this one," Michael responded. Eddie still refused to give up and said, "I go to the gym, so I have the energy to stand." Michael pointed out that Eddie had more gray hair, but Eddie insisted that hair color had nothing to do with stamina. The argument escalated, and the other passengers started to look annoyed.
At the next stop, a young boy got on the bus and saw the empty seat. He happily sat down and started playing a game on his device. The passengers were all delighted by the boy's innocent smile.
Eddie and Michael finally stopped arguing and apologized to each other. Michael realized that standing was tiring, despite looking young and energetic, and resolved to be more considerate to the other passengers on future bus rides.
