‘‘I helped a wandering man out of a ‘gutter’ that he fell into last night, I didn’t know who he was until he dusted himself and started speaking one of the most amazing English I’ve heard.
He is a retired professor, begging for money to eat, he looked lost and my heart sunk.
I asked him, “Sir, what do you want?” he said he’s cash strapped and he doesn’t have any money to eat.
