A
I had little in the way of money when I took this job in Ft. Lauderdale. One noon, I felt very hungry, so I sat outside at a little park and had a small piece of bread, ate half with a glass of water. I was OK with that. I thought about my work and enjoyed the sun, birds and people, taking out any problems I had.
A tall man walked to me who was not dressed well and began a conversation about little things. I always dressed clean and neat well. So he thought I had money. He said, "Could you please give me some money?"I said, "I don't have any."
He kept on asking, and I said, "I really don't have any."
He then became sarcastic and said, "I know the persons like you, you wouldn't give anybody anything."That made me mad. I became angry because he doubted me. I looked at him and gave my wallet to him, "Look in my wallet."
He then said "sorry" to me and opened his wallet and said, "Here I will give you some."
I looked at him in surprise and said, "No, thank you." Then I walked away.
It's good to remember that people can always surprise you.
