'From the Cabby's Seat' by O. Henry

We present the short story "From the Cabby's Seat," by O. Henry. The story was originally adapted and recorded by the U.S. Department of State.
          The cabby has his own special place from which he looks at life. His view of people is simpler, perhaps, than the view of a man who does any other kind of work.
From the high seat of his cab, he looks down upon everybody.
