On a quiet morning, a taxi pulled over to the side of a road in Zhongzheng District, Keelung City, northern Taiwan. The driver, Mr. Wu, got out of his car and called out to a nearby house: “Anybody home? Mr. Chen, please come out and get your supplies!”
A boy of junior high school age emerged from the house in response to the call. Seeing him, the taxi driver added, “There’s a lot of stuff here. It’ll take two people to move it in.” While the boy fetched his mother to help, Wu began to move a couple of heavy boxes from his car. The boy and his mother then got busy lugging in the boxes.
