He sat on a cold street corner without eating for days. A woman saw him and took him to a restaurant to get something to eat. The owner of the restaurant did not want to serve him and forced them to leave the place… What happened next left us all speechless!
One day, a woman was walking down the street when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw an old man standing on a street corner with his eyes wide open. He was old, unshaven and wearing dirty clothes. As he stood, busy passers-by smoothly walked past him… To them, he was no different from any other homeless person. But on closer inspection, the woman remained silent. It was very cold that day and the man was wearing a ragged coat. Apart from his jacket, he was wrapped in a blanket with holes in it. He stopped on the road and asked the old man, “Sir, are you all right?” he asked. “Not!” he replied sarcastically. “I just got back from dinner with the president… Now leave me alone!”
The woman’s smile grew even wider. Suddenly, the man felt a soft hand under his arm.
“What are you doing, lady?” he asked angrily. – I told you to leave me alone!
At that moment, a police officer walked by and asked, “Is there a problem, ma’am?” asked the policeman.
“No, no problem. I’m trying to wake this old man up. Help? – answered the woman.
The police said: “This is John. It has been in the area for several years. What do you want from him? »
Woman: “Can you see the cafe over there?” I want to feed him to warm him up a bit. »
The old man said, “Are you crazy? I don’t want to go there! »
Then he felt two more hands grab his other hand. He was a police officer. Finally, the woman and the policeman came to their senses and took the old man to a restaurant.
They seated him at a table in the far corner. It was morning, but the cafe was empty. The restaurant owner crossed the area and came to our table. – What’s going on, officer? What is this? Why did you bring this person to our restaurant? »
“This woman tried to buy him food.” – answered the policeman.
The manager got very angry and said, “Not here… it’s not good to have someone like that in our restaurant.” This is killing my business! »
The old man laughed… – Did you see, madam? I said I would. Now please let me go. I didn’t want to come here! »
The woman looked at the manager and said, “Sir, can you see that store across the street?” – he said smiling.
The host said, “Of course it will. know. They meet every week at a restaurant. »
Woman: “So you make a lot of money serving food at the weekly meetings?”
Owner: “Why are you curious?”
Woman: “Okay, I’m the president of the company.”
The boss said no more… The woman smiled again. “I thought that would change things.”
Then he looked at the policeman and said, “Captain, would you like to have breakfast with us?”
The police said, “No, sir. I’m at work. »
Woman: “Would you like some coffee then?”
The police said, “Yes, thank you.” It is a good thing.”
The owner replied, “I’ll make you coffee right away.” The officer looked at him and said, “You sent him back.” “That was not my intention,” the woman said. “Believe it or not, I do all of this for a reason. He sat down in front of the old man and asked, “Do you remember me?” he asked.
The old man said, “I think so. I mean you know me…
Woman: “I’m a little older… but do you remember the day you worked here when I walked in that door cold, cold and hungry?”
Policeman: “Ma’am, how?”… He didn’t think a successful woman would face such problems. Woman: “I was 20 years younger. I came to the city to look for a job, but no one wanted to hire me. My landlord kicked me out because I didn’t have the money to pay the rent. I walked the streets for a few days. It was February and I was cold and almost hungry. When I saw this place, I wanted to at least eat some hot soup, so I went inside. »
said the old man, smiling. “Now I remember…I was sitting behind my desk and you asked me if you wanted to come work with us for a few hours for food. I told you it’s against restaurant rules. »
the woman continued. “I know… And then you made me the biggest steak sandwich I’ve ever eaten, offered me some hot tea and told me to sit down and enjoy it. I was afraid that he would face difficulties. »
Elder: “How has your life changed?”
The woman said: “I joined the company that day. I worked hard to get to the top. Eventually I started a business and with God’s help I prospered. »
After she finished eating, she took out a business card from her bag and said, “After dinner, come to the office and look for this person.” He is our company’s HR director. Let’s talk to him now. I’m sure he’ll find you a job. I think he can give you a deposit to buy clothes and rent a room. And if you need anything, our door is always open. »
Tears immediately filled the old man’s eyes. “How can I be grateful for all this?”
Woman: Don’t thank me. I thank God for bringing me to you today. »
