He staggered into the cafe with the help of the walking stick. He must be about 80 years old. He wanted to have a plate of fried noodles and a cup of coffee but he did not have money to pay for them.
My wife and I were seated a few rows away observing how that old man was treated by the cafe staff. His order was rejected. He was disappointed and looked dejected. He must be hungry, I told my wife.
I approached the staff selling the food and paid for the old man's breakfast. It was only $2.50. That fellow did not even thank me but I did not really care nor expect any gratitude. The point I want to make was that my action had an impact on the staff and from that morning onwards, that old fellow need not have to pay for his breakfast,courtesy of the cafe.
