Mr. Cruz was walking home from the office
when a beggar approached him for alms;
Mr. Cruz looked at the beggar and realized
that the man in dirty rags was robust,
perhaps even stronger than he.”Why”, he
told the beggar, “ you are strong enough
to work and earn a living.” With these
words. Mr. Cruz proceeded on his way.
Cherry had a hard day and so, she went to
bed early. She had just dozed off when her
neighbors, a couple with half a dozen
children, began shouting at each other.
The night was filled with the noise of falling
objects and the shrieks and cries of
children. Cherry wanted to shout at her
neighbors, but she thought it was wise to
just bury her head among pillows.
