Hint: Writing stories, be it tiny or short, requires careful thinking of images, scenes, and characters.

Complete step-by-step answer:

A long wait for a bus, people kept coming, joining the crowd. Everyone was enjoying and being a part of their own lives, wanting to go to a certain destination, using the same conveyance. I was observing each one of them, and how they were patient and in a light mood, initially, but getting impatient as the crowd expanded. A layer of chaos and tension covered all of us. I felt my pocket being slightly touched, I turned around and no one was there. I thought it may be because of the immense crowd. The bus still didn't come, it was more than half an hour now. I felt my pocket being touched, again. I caught a hand, a little hand. I turned around and it was a little boy, who was wearing wracked clothes. He immediately started asking for some money, there was a pain in his eyes and not guilt. He had been pulling my pocket for quite a bit of time, but because of the large crowd, I wasn't able to see. This is what little kids lead to when they have no other choice but to fill their and their family's stomach, each day. I didn't know if I should simply scold him, like everyone else would have done, or tell him the difference between stealing and working for a living. But this difference won't affect him, he's just a child, after all, an immature, dumb kid. He doesn't know all of it and he wouldn't even try to understand because all he needs is food, he's hungry. I don't know where we are lacking but he'll be the hero of his family if he managed to buy food for his mother. All these thoughts, a little hand in my hand, and the bus came. I didn't think much before handing that boy some money and went into the bus.

Note: You should frame a storyline, first, in your mind, before writing a story.
