An Old Mendicant's Treats

--by guin, posted Apr 18, 2007

An old mendicant came to my road,singing some prayer songs and asking for food.

I was just heading home, and my key got stuck and I couldn't open my door. So when I headed back to the where the old man was sitting on the roadside, with a home cooked meal, fruits and bread, I couldn't find him there.

I walked down the road, thinking that maybe I could find someone else who could use what I had prepared.

On the main road, I stumbled on two little children. They were evidently ragpickers, and they had dropped their bags of trash, peering into an Italian restaurant where several wealthy people were having lunch.

It was such a magical moment, me going there and handing them this package. I can never forget the joy on the little children's faces on seeing the warm food.
