whore

there were three women on a bus
one was an oldish whore, another, a youngish pretty girl, and the last, a nun of uncertain age
the bus stopped to let people on.
a woman got on, green and yellow in her face, out of breath, very old and clearly unwell
one of the three women was bound to offer her their seat.
the whore stood up so that the sick woman could sit.

why are we even slightly surprised by that?
