The girl at the bus station

John was driving home late one night when he saw a young lady waiting by a
bus stop. He stopped his car and told her...
“The buses don’t work so late, can I give you a ride?”
It was very cold, so he took off his jacket and gave it to her. The girl's name
was Mary and she was going to her home. After an hour's drive, they arrived
at her home. John said good night and then he went to his home.
The next day John remembered that Mary still had his jacket. He drove to
her house and knocked on the door. An old woman answered. John told her:
“yesterday I drove Mary home and she has my jacket” .The old woman was
very confused. John saw a picture of Mary on the table. He pointed to it and
told the old woman that it was a picture of the girl.
With her voice shaking......
