The Conversation

On Monday the 4th of October a man had a very unusual experience on his way to work. The man went over and sat next to a old man with a frown on his face.

The two began to get into a conversation however it quickly escalated when the overweight man began talking about how he had lost everything due to a sickness him and his wife were diagnosed with.

He then said he lived with his daughter but was abused as he was believed to be bad luck due to his sickness. He said “I am only fed rice, and my daughter makes me sleep on the balcony”. He also showed the other man his empty wallet saying he was on his way for treatment. The other man seemed to be listening with empathy and when it was time for him to get off the bus he kindly handed the man twenty dollars.

However the poor man did seem incredulous as it also did not make sense that if he was only fed rice he could be overweight. It is unclear if the man was tricking the businessman or not however with the countless number of cheaters there are, he may very well be one.
