Passage 10 It was very late at night on the eve of Memorial Day. She got on the subway train at 34th Street Pennsylvania Station. I am still try to remember how she managed to push herself in with a baby on her right arm, a traveling bag in her left hand and two children, a boy and a girl, about three and five years old, following after her. She was a nice looking white lady in her early twenties. At Nevins Street Station, Brooklyn, I saw her preparing to get off at the next station---Atlantic Avenue---which happened to be the place where I had to get off. Just as it was a problem for her to get on, it was going to be a problem for her to get off the train with two small children to be taken care of, a baby on her right arm and a medium-sized bag in her left hand. And there I was, also preparing to get off at the Atlantic Avenue, with nothing to take care of ---not ever the usual customary book under my arm. As the train was entering the Atlantic Avenue Station, some white man stood up from his seat and helped her out, placing the children on the long, deserted platform. There were only two adults on the long platform some time after midnight on the eve of last Memorial Day. I could see the steep concrete stairs going down to the Long Island Railroad or up into the street. Should I offer my help as the American white man had done? Should I take care of the girl and the boy, take them by their hands until they were out of the station? Puerto Ricans are a courteous people. And here I was---a Puerto Rican----hours past midnight, faced with two white children and a white lady, with a baby on her right arm and a bad in her left hand, obviously needing somebody to help them at least until they went up the long concrete stairs. But how could I, a Negro and Puerto Rican, approach this white lady who very likely might be prejudiced against Negros and anybody with a foreign accent, in a deserted subway station very late at night?Who helped the woman as the subway pulled into the Atlantic Avenue station?
A、A black man.
B、A white man.
C、The author.
D、Nobody.
