Yesterday I was walking before noon. I saw him pass me on a small motorcycle (Vespa). He passed me by a little; then he pulled over to the side of the road and waited. I thought he was lost and needed someone to direct him to his destination. Do I look like one of those who would be happy to offer this service to any passer-by? When I halted in front of him, I noticed a look of surprise on his face. He shyly apologized and said, literally: “I did not think that you were exercising. Pardon me; I stopped you. I thought you were a worker like me who would like someone to give you a lift”. I smiled at him with all my face, and thanked him for his generous offer. I love the generosity of the poor. He was a man the age of my eldest son. The harshness of this world has caused him to lose most of his front teeth. However, it did not take liberties with his generosity and morals. You will not find, in the whole earth, people as generous as the poor of this country.
