Hello, in my neighborhood, there was a homeless man. He was sitting on a chair, and I saw him and felt really sad for him because he looked so cold and hungry. I bought him some snacks, food, and a drink. It turned out that the man was one of the most powerful people in my country, and he gave me a hundred grand, like a hundred thousand dollars. I asked him, 'Why did you give me this? Why do you want me to keep it?' He said, 'You just helped me, that's all.' It was risky because the money wasn't mine; it was my mother's money. That's why it felt risky. If I hadn't given it to him, I would have felt bad for myself because I don't want anyone to be in that situation. I believe everyone deserves help. So, in the end, it turned out to be a positive experience for both of us. Thank you so much.
