THE BEGGAR

 

 

 

We all make/do/perform mistakes, but it /that/there is one particular

blunder that has stuck in my mind, and the more I try to forget it, the better it

sticks!

I know of course/coarse/curse that the authorities would like us to believe

that begging is unnecessary in our welfare state, and that beggars

prefer/prefers/preferring begging to real work, but personally I am not

convinced. So I sometimes give them a few coins if I think they look as though

they really need the money.

Anyway, a morning/one morning/in the morning as I was walking to work

saw I/I saw/did I see a young chap sitting on a piece of cardboard on the

pavement outside a Tube station in the city centre. Just one glance at him told

me he was mentally ill. He was sitting hunched up, holding a newspaper in his

hands, and he was talking to his left shoulder in a way that seemed

absolutely/total/fully crazy. It was as if he and his shoulder were in the

middle of an important conversation.

This was obviously a genuinely needy/one of the genuinely needy/a

genuinely need. I thrown/throws/threw a pound coin in front of him, and

glanced quickly to catch the expression of surprise and gratitude that was sure

to follow. "Hey, you, what's that then?" the man shouted. He sounded

surprised, but not very gratefully/grateful/gratitude. "It's for you," I said,

wondering if I'd give/given/giving him too much or too little. "Wait a sec.,

Fred," he said to the mobile phone that was stuck between his chin and left

shoulder. And then he spoke to me on/in/with a voice that was becoming

more and more aggressive: "What the hell do you mean, it's for me?"

On me it slowly dawned/Slowly it dawned on me/It dawned slow on

me that the man wasn't a beggar.

After all, beggars don't usually conduct/aren’t usually conducting/aren’t

usually conducted their business on the phone. Even the government hasn't

suggested that they are so well off. Then I saw the expensive leather jacket he

was wearing, and the crash helmet by his side. And parked in the street there

was a motor-bike belonging to Express Deliveries. I didn't know

weather/wether/whether to pick the coin up again or leave it and make a

quick but dignified retreat. I was debating the question when the man tossed

the pound at me and suggested I ought to go away, but not quite in those

words. The coin bounced off my chest and rolled into the gutter. I picked it up

and left him. The last words I heard were: "Sorry about that, Fred. There was

a real nutcase here..."

Emnetittelen i denne tråden er lite beskrivende for trådens innhold og det er derfor ingen god emnetittel. Jo bedre og mer beskrivende emnetittelen er, jo lettere er det for andre å skjønne trådens innhold og det vil være lettere å treffe den riktige forumbrukeren med det rette svaret. Ber deg derfor om å endre emnetittel. Vennligst forsøk å ha dette i tankene neste gang du starter en tråd, og orienter deg om hva vår nettikette sier om dårlig bruk av emnetitler.

 

Husk at en god emnetittel skal beskrive eller oppsummere hvilket problem du har - ikke at du har et problem. En god emnetittel skal heller ikke kun bestå av et produktnavn.

 

Bruk p_edit.gif-knappen i første post for å endre emnetittelen.

 

(Dette innlegget vil bli fjernet ved endring av emnetittel. Ikke kommenter dette innlegget, men p_report.gif gjerne dette innlegget når tittelen er endret, så vil det bli fjernet..)
