I never saw him again. He probably thinks I helped him out that day, but that is not 48it was. I didn’t help him. He helped me to 49people again to repay their trust in me. He helped me to once again want to do something for those who are 50. I wish I could thank him for 51some of my belief in the basic 52of others and for giving me back a little of the 53I had lost. Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of kindness that 54us to others.
I may have fed his body that day, but he fed my 55.
