It Was Just An Alms
It Was Just An Alms
Poorly clothed, a man was drawing a full, very heavy garbage cart slowly, straining, with all his efforts as a lean horse. I made up my mind and returned and gave him a ten thousand rupiah note – that’s just about one dollar – to buy himself perhaps something to eat. He smiled. But as I was home again. I regretted. was ashamed of myself that I just gave him an alms. Perhaps it were far better that I kept up my thump as my respect in honor to him which is certainly worth far more. He will have his selfrespect and wont feel him self so poor, so low as a beggar.
