“The Richest Poor man in the world.”        

“Good morning Jim” said Bob.

“Shut up” “ Everyday you say the same thing and what do I always say?   Shut up” Jim said.

            “ Well I’m going to a food drive, need anything? Any Food?” Bob replied.

“Shut up”

            Bob is a nice man, unlike most others he sees in his life. Bob is also a very poor man. He lives in a ten by ten hut made of varied materials. This hut is in a back-lot behind a building.  He relies of the weather to eat. On a sunny day when people walk the streets he can beg and get food. On the other hand on a rainy day no one walks the streets and he starves. In order to get water he uses a series of buckets he keeps on the top of his hut. So if he can’t get food at least he can drink. He’s been living like this for twenty five years in the same town, same hut. Besides everything negative about his life he is a great man. He always goes to church and tries to do the right thing.

            Even though he is a poor old man almost everyone knows him, whether it is just someone who walks to work or whether they are his fellow poor friends. People know him because he can always be found doing something good like cleaning the town, or helping someone with something. He always finds ways to help someone even if he has nothing.

            And he cant get out of this life because he has no family or job.  He has applied for many jobs but no one will take him, he has nothing they want.

            “One day this will all change” he tells himself every night.
