Done with Laundry

Time to take a nap now. I mean sleep.
I only washed my clothes, my everyday clothes and my 4 pairs of pants and 5 polo shirts. I only work 2 days in the office and the rest work from home so I don't have much work clothes to wash but I did not do my laundry 2 weeks ago so I have lots today.
While I was outside a guy appeared asking me if I can buy 3 kilos of rice from him. I told him I just bought my supply last week but out of pity, I gave him money without taking his offer - the rice.
It was just so strange that a stranger will appear while hanging my clothes. I mean, this guy is not from my block or even the neighboring blocks. He mentioned where he lives - Ana St., but have not seen any Ana St.
I found the Ana St. It is the very first street. The red line is the route I am taking going to and fro. But the guy who appeared to me took the blue line. The were many other streets before my street.

Yes, I will be careful always. I make sure that I discern people's acts.

Maybe he didn't want people where he lived to know what he was doing? It does seem strange that he would go so far from home to ask if someone would buy his rice.

Yeah that was strange. Though I might have seen him on the streets before. But exactly, I don't get it he needs to go so far.

@jobelbojel It might also have been that you were the first person he saw outside since he started walking but that's a little hard to believe.

@DaddyEvil I think so. I hope the money was able to help him.

@jobelbojel Yes, you simply return the favor that you originally received. That should come back to you, in my opinion, and occasionally it might come back more than once.

Yes, indeed. I felt like when I was in need too, someone helped me as well.

He must be hurting for money. You'd be surprised the lengths that some people would take.

I can understand. Whatever he is going to do with that money, it's up to him.

@jobelbojel Yep. I mean one thing we all have in common-- we all have bills to pay.

I will be careful my friend. If the same person comes up to me again, it will be questionable already.

It's very kind of you to give money to the guy without taking the rice.

I actually refused twice. I told him I already bought my supply but he stayed for 5 minutes and I don't know what to do. I told him that I will give him money and so I did.
