When Alexander got on the bus, an argument was already underway. A tipsy passenger was persistently bothering a woman of Gypsy appearance. Judging by the loud shouts, the boorish lout was demanding that she tell him his future immediately.

The Gypsy woman didn’t react to his offensive remarks, but calmly repeated several times that she didn’t practice fortune-telling and he should leave his stereotypes behind. Her composure was truly iron-clad, which couldn’t be said for the other people in the crowded bus.

Alexander could no longer tolerate such blatant rudeness, so he decisively stood up for the defenseless passenger. Although he was smaller in build than the brawler, the young man had plenty of courage.
