Indigent Soul
Elmer Alvarez is one man who was wishing for things many of us take granted for. For a long time, he was living out on the streets with an empty pocket. He looked shabby and wore torn clothes. Undoubtedly, he had a tough life. He had to beg for making a living. Nothing came easily to him. For every single penny, he had to fight his bad luck. Elmer was never sure whether he would be able to feed himself with a meal on any day of his life. His meals were unpredictable. Some days he got food for twice a day and there were days when he had to sleep all hungry stomach. He was a victim to circumstances and it was getting hard for him to survive. But, as they say, G0d is there to shower his choicest blessings on you. And one morning something happened.
A Lucky Break
For Elmer, it was a usual day. He was just thinking about how will he arrange for his food today when he saw that cheque. For a second, Elmer did not pick it up thinking that may be any trespasser would have left it there and would just soon pick it up. He even had this thought that someone’s eyes might catch him when he picks it up. But, after a while, he picks it up and could not believe his eyes that he got such a lucky break.
Rightful Owner
Though it was not at all easy for Elmer, to give up on such a huge amount of money, he knew that if he kept it, the money would give him a roof-a shelter but despite that, it won’t be able to give him a peaceful sleep. He would always stay under the guilt of owning someone’s hard earned money. He thus decided to return it to its rightful owner. That’s incredible. Little did he know that a huge surprise was coming his way.
Returning The Money
Roberta did not even worry about the lost money. Because she was completely oblivious about it. Rather, only when Elmer contacted her she realized that she had lost some $10,000 under her possession. She thought that she was too foolish to drop a huge amount of money and that too being completely unnoticed. She was grateful to Elmer and what happens next was the unexpected.
A Place To Live
Roberta had a tough time thinking in which manner can she present her gratitude towards Elmer. For a man who had absolutely nothing, what could be of utmost need and what could be the most beneficiary for him? As she was a real-estate agent and Elmer- a homeless fellow, she knew that a place to call home and keep him warm was something he needed badly. Thus, she decides to arrange an accommodation for him.
