Helping a Poor Person

Tweet

I would like to tell you about a person that I have been giving cans and bottles for a few months now. He is almost 70 years old, he is a retired butcher of fish. He spends time at the super market, he helps the workers to put the products on the shelves. I decided to buy him a mobile phone so I can call him and give him cans, bottles so he can get money. I once asked him to give me some of the money because I thought he got a lot of cans. He refused and we got angry about each other. a Month later, I decided to keep giving him can and bottles for nothing. He shows gratitude and smile. Today I offered him to help me in the garden for a few minutes for a box full of cans. He accepted, so we agreed I will call him every week to help me for some minutes, maybe 10 - 15 minutes, so he will get cans. I hope it will work out, we will be friends and spend time even without cans, maybe talk, eat together. It's feels good to get to know a person and make him happy. I must admit that a lot of the times I wanted to get something in return, but now, I decided that if I can donate, for a cheap return, why not. I get a friend. Tomorrow I will maybe invite him to my grandmother's garden for a couple of minutes to take out some weed, and give him 20 cans. Your take, mylotters, do you have anyone you decided to help to, and become friends ? Maybe it gone wrong ? Maybe it came out well ? Please share.
