Sometimes I just dun understand what some people are thinking.
Yesterday, I went to Guangyin Temple with my parents and saw this poor man sitting at a corner. A sign which written-I had lost both of my legs. Pls donate- in chinese, was place in front of him and his lower body was covered by a blanklet. My mother took pitied of that man and gave him a 10 dollar note. Even though, it was not eactly a hugh sum of money, the 10 dollar would ensure the poor chap a meal. We walked away, thinking that we had done a good deed.
But, we were wrong.
We were about to leave the temple when it started raining. To my astonishment, i saw the so called-without legs man actually stood up, packed his belongings and started RUNNING to the nearest building to seek shelter! Can you believe it?? All of us were dumbstruck...
Maybe that man has his reason to cheat. Or maybe he is just in need of money. I dun noe. But since he is normal with 2 legs n 2 hands. Shouldn't he make use of dem?
It's sad to really say.....some people just take singaporean's generosity for granted.
