Shining Time Station1989
J.B. King:
I'm looking for a little man. I only saw him once when I was, a boy. I was sitting in a train-station waiting for a train to take me home, but the train was late - and I started thinking that I... I'd never get home again.
Kara:
Was the little man all alone?
J.B. King:
No. No, he was with his family and he was saying goodbye; that's when I saw him. And I *know* he was, real. And, uh... he whispered a poem in my ear. But I can only remember part of it.
Dan Jones:
What did he say?
J.B. King:
Uh, he said - in the part I *remember*, he said, uh, "All the sharing that makes life worth living, and the pleasure you get 'cause you're giving, and it's wonderful how all at once you're..." And that's all I can remember. But when he said those words, I knew I'd get home safely, and I did.
Becky:
Did he tell you his name?
J.B. King:
Mr. Conductor. That was his name.
