Three days went by, and we only knew Paws was the bed because when we walked past it we heard deep growling.

I will never forget what my old headmaster has taught me. when you are only 15 years of age, you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. However, this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning he was the students on important things in life and about ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story .
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would every morning and get the train right to Central London, then at the street corner and beg. He would do this every day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and had begged for almost 20years.
His house was and unpleasant smell came out of the house. The neighbors could not the smell anymore, so they called the police officers to this place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of all over the house that the old man had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a . They waited outside his house, expecting to the good news with him. When he arrived home , he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no for him to beg any more. He said nothing , but went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he begged as usual.
