Since the age of two, Ryder has been in a wheelchair. Last September he started the first grade and took the bus to school every day. Because he couldn't rush to catch the bus, sometimes he had to wait for fifteen minutes outside for the next one. It was all right when the weather was fine. However, if it was a rainy day with strong wind, Ryder would get wet, cold and ▲.
Tim, who went to the local high school, rode the same bus with Ryder and noticed this. He wanted to help him stay warm but didn't know what to do. He told his teacher, Dan, about Ryder.
"Why not build Ryder a bus stop hut(小屋)?" said Dan. "You can spend sometime after school working on this project."
"Great idea!"said Tim.
Tim shared Dan's idea with his classmates, and they immediately decided to join in. Three of Dan's classmates worked hard on the project for days. They watched videos to learn how to create the structure (结构). It was getting colder day by day. And the thought of keeping Ryder away from cold wind made them work nonstop. They wanted to finish it before the snow would be falling. Some local companies heard about it and also helped.
The hut was finally built two weeks later. Ryder's family was shocked. It was so big that it allowed Ryder and an adult to be with him comfortably. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the hut and thanked Tim and other students for their hard work. The students were so excited to see just how their project helped others.
