The life of the homeless is not easy at all; not having a house, just sleeping under a bridge or some kind of never safe place, struggling every day to eat something despite the fact that you have no money in your wallet to continue, is not at all simple; yet the homeless, who know best what sacrifice, poverty, and honesty mean, are most likely to make gestures of great kindness.
This is the story of Woralop, a 45-year-old homeless man who lives in Bangkok, the most important city in Thailand; While traveling by subway, the man noticed that a passenger, without realizing it, had forgotten his wallet; Woralop, who lived in absolute poverty, could take advantage of the situation and keep his wallet with all the money inside, but he couldn’t do something like that.
He tried to shout at the rightful owner, but eventually lost sight of him through the crowd of passengers getting on and off the carriages…
Looking inside the wallet, he noticed several personal documents, money, but also an uncollected check for about $ 600 – what Woralop did was immediately go to the local police station to return the lost wallet and find the owner of the wallet. Right; the latter is a businessman in the metallurgical industry named Nitty Pongkriangyos.
Once he recovered his wallet from the police, the owner could not help but thank the homeless Samaritan for everything he did to secure his money and personal documents: “I was totally amazed when the police told me that he’s in possession of my wallet because I didn’t even know I lost it. My first reaction was wow! If I had been in that situation without money, I probably would have kept it. But the homeless man, who had only a few coins in his pocket, presented himself to the police without touching anything. This shows that he is a good and honest person… exactly the kind of person we need in our company! ”
Thus, Nitty decided to do something concrete to change for the better the life of the homeless man; he offered her a job in his metallurgical company and a new home where she could eat and sleep comfortably every day: “Woralop is exactly proof that being a good person has its advantages. When you are good to someone else, someone else will be good to you. These are the kind and honest gestures that everyone should practice! ”Added Tarika Patty, Nitty’s wife.
Woralop’s story shows us once again that honesty and kindness are always worth rewarding: if you are kind to someone else, others will eventually be kind to us; let’s never forget this!
