So I was approaching church today when I saw this small boy asking for money from an auntie who flatly refused him. As I walked closer he turned to me, he made his request
Curiously, it wasn't money.
"can you help me buy food?" was his convoluted request. I didn't catch what he wanted on the first try.
But anyway, he was tasked by his family to get lunch for everyone with 7 dollars but he went and lost 4 dollars on the way. As I was in a rush, I asked him if he could go get the food himself. Passing him 4 dollars, I told him to run quickly to get the food because his family's probably really hungry now waiting for him to return.
There's this strange feeling that I got conned and turns out highly possible because the next moment my church friend was telling me about how she met a similar kid twice, asking for money, last year.
I don't know. For me, 4 dollars is but the money I use to save my ass when I dilly dally too much and cab to church. So why not help this little guy out if he really needed the money or guilt trip him if he has indeed been cheating money.
