It's People That Always Surprise You

I had little in the way of money when I took this job at McCrory's in Ft. Lauderdale. In fact to ease me through hunger pangs at noon, I sat outside at a little park/bus stop area and had a piece of bubble gum, ate half with a glass of water. I was okay with that. I certainly would not starve to death that quickly. I minded my own business and enjoyed the sunshine, birds and people, wiping out any problems I had. Life is always beautiful and things always change is how I think.

A tall man approached me who was not disheveled and struck up a conversation about little things. I always dressed clean and neat, well that must have given him the impression I had money. He said, I wanted to ask you ''if you could give me some money.''  I said ''I don't have any.'' He kept on asking, and I said, ''truly I don't have any.'' He then became sarcastic and said, ''I know your type, you wouldn't give anybody anything.'' That done it, that made me mad. He repeated his statement. Anger took over me, anger because he doubted me, I looked directly at him and said here, ''Look in my wallet which I openly displayed to him and said ''see I don't have any money.''  He then apologized, ''so sorry'' he said.''

He then opened his wallet and said, 'Here I will give you some.'' I WAS SO FLOORED, ! I looked at him in astonishment shook my head and said ''No thank you'' and walked away.

Its good to remember that people can always surprise you.
