One day, I was Standing in front of Expo Center lahore with my friend Zain. I was carrying a small amount of cash with me, just enough for the stuff I had to buy. When I was done, I was left with a few coins worth — only about Rs7.
I was there to drop my friend to his house on our way back to universty. And we were having gupshup. An old man came to us. Since this man was quite aged, I felt bad not responding to his request for help. I wanted to give him something. So I took out my coins from my pocket and handed over all the coins I had.
He looked at the coins and started saying things to me with great disgust.I felt bad and politely tried telling him that it was all I had at the time. But he did not stop and just kept cursing me.
If he really had been in need, even a single coin would have been a blessing for him. But it seemed that he was there for a big business deal – not just to collect a few ‘worthless’ coins
This incident changed my entire perspective on the beggars in our country.
So the Conclusion of the story is that
"Beggar can be chooser"
