Winds Too High For You To Stay Cold


--by altruist, posted Mar 3, 2017
A week ago when I got out of the train, I was about to exit the railway station when my eyes got stuck on one old guy. The morning cold winter winds were piercing through my woolen cap. I noticed the older man wasn't wearing anything on his head nor scarf around his neck, yet he was sitting in open amidst chilly winds.

I went to him and asked the reason for not wearing any headgear. He gave me a weird stare and said "coz I ain't have any" - I got the vibe that probably he felt embarrassed that I asked him that. So I pulled out my cap and handed it to him. I told him to keep wearing it. He then smiled. I smiled back and left. :-)
