So Shameless People!

My dad's cousin, an able-bodied man I would say, so capable of working came to our house yesterday before lunch. He was looking for our dad. Unfortunately, my dad left and went to the market. The guy said, "Okay, I know your father will be home soon so I'll wait for him". And so, he waited outside, in our garage where he sat in our motorcycle. After about half an hour, my father arrived. He brought my brother and I some food from a nearby fast food because he knows we got no food at home and we must be hungry. My brother managed to bring it inside the house - but wait, it's not the big deal. So, my dad and his cousin (who actually does not bother to go to our house unless he is going to ask for money) talked. It so happened that my dad had this certain work which took him four months of blood and sweat and lot of spending before they can actually see the "fruits" of their work. And now is the time that my dad starts to see that the effort he put into that work is worth it. This guy apparently heard of the news that my dad and his brother (they happen to be partners in this business) are now gaining from this "project". He had actually gone to our house not a week ago asking my dad to give him money, but back then my dad still does not have money so he gave him one big pack of mangoes that he could actually eat or sell (if he really needs money). While they are talking, he said, "Man, GIVE me 100 pesos". Can you even imagine that! He is not actually asking, but demanding that my father give him money. Okay, it's a small amount, but the problem is he always does that and he never even bother to say thank you! My dad took his wallet, get two 50-peso bills, and while giving it to him he said, "Make it 500". Wow! I cannot believe this guy! I myself have not even ask my dad for money since he started having some money from this little business because I know that we still have a lot of things to pay first - but this guy told my dad to give him money and how much he wants. My dad does not have money in his wallet so he came in and started to search for some money and gave it to him - that's bad already. But, what is even worse is that he even took another big pack of mangoes worth more or less 300 to 500 pesos. So he has already taken 800 to 1000 from us. And the worst thing that could actually happen is that he comes back here asking for more! - and I would not be surprised if that's what happens. This guy actually lives with that. What makes me even mad is that my grandmother who is sick, he goes there from time to time telling them to give him food and money. And out of pity, my grandma gives him. He tells everyone he knows to give him a big amount of money. I mean, hello!? He can work! He's got big body, he should work to sustain his family. It is so hard to work for money now, so I cannot imagine this guy thinking that money SHOULD be given to him. The thing I hate most is that HE NEVER SAYS THANK YOU! Oh! My dad just happened to be so kind especially with people in need. But it's wrong to let lazy people do what they are doing because you should teach them that they need to work if they want to eat and have their needs, right?
