People think being a delivery person is easy, but it's more complex than anyone can imagine. Although Harry always did his best, he was not able to afford a car. He used his motorbike to deliver orders and usually it was convenient except for severe weather conditions.
One day, he was trying to get off the highway when he saw an old beggar trying to cross the road. He was weak and looked cold in his dirty jacket. The honks (鸣笛) of cars echoed as they passed him, and the man backed away with fear. If that kept going, someone would run over the man, so Harry stopped to help him cross.
Harry grabbed the man's arm to guide him and started leading him through it. Luckily, they reached the other side after a few minutes, and the old beggar smiled brightly at him. "Thank you so much, young man. I can't believe I finally crossed. Can you tell me your address? I want to send a thank-you gift." the older man said, reaching for Harry.
"Oh, that's not necessary." Harry said and straightened his motorbike to get back on it. "Please. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't repay this kind gesture," he insisted, and Harry nodded, telling him his address. Still, he didn't expect anything from this poor older man. "Thank you again!" the senior beggar waved as Harry rolled away to continue working.
Harry lived in a nice neighborhood but because the pandemic cost him his job, and now food delivery was his entire livelihood. Some days he had to work 18 hours to make ends meet. He was his children's only parent because his wife had abandoned them long ago, and Harry was determined to build a promising future for them, even if he didn't have a car to make those deliveries properly. He was saving for that.
注意：
However, he found a brand new car in his garage the following day.
……
The sincerity in the old man's face couldn't be denied.
