The man with tattoos and the old lady

The man with tattoos and the old lady

On a Facebook page there's a post:

'' I was sitting and eating noodle in a shop and it was heavily rain. In the shop there are two of us, a young man with tattoos all over his face growling over a few phone calls, voice grumpy and sometimes swearing as everyone in the bar were watching him in complication, and a group of young men in nice clothes chatting.

We sit for a while, there was an old woman entered the shop offered everyone to buy her lottery tickets, her tiny emaciated appearance, her wet tattered conical hat, her body slightly shivering. The old woman offered the tickets which were wrapped in a plastic bag to a well-dressed young man:


- Sir, please buy some tickets!

He did not look, just empty talk:

- Let see.

Holding up the lottery, he grumbled:

- Yuck, who would buy a wet tickets?

The old woman mumbled:

- They are a bit wet but it will dry fast sir.

- No, do away! - He said angrily as he was throwing them on the table.

The old woman was about to say something, then the man with the tattoos said from the next table:

- It he does not buy, I'll buy!

The old woman quickly walk to him . He withdrew two sheets and gave 50,000 VND to the elderly woman. The old woman took money from her pockets and told the man:

- It's a bit wet...

- No, you can keep the change.

-But you only bought two...

- I told you that you can keep it.

- I can still work on my own sir, if you help please take three more tickets..

The man mumbled something and then withdrew another 3 additional sheets, and then said:

- Cold rain so, come sit here eat with me, my treat! - Then he called to add 1 more bowls.

The old woman hesitated a little and then said:

- If you have heart, then I would accept, but please wrap it for me.

The man lit a cigarette, asked:

- Why don't you eat here ?

I can't , I have a sick grandchild at home - and she faltered say - he love noodle very much ...

- Go eat here,I'll call another one for your child.

Speaking before he got up and charges of 3 parts. He stepped out of the shop muttering: 'What rain... It's been raining forever!'

Remain in the shop, the elderly woman eating her noodle bowl. The table next to was a dashing young man who was loudly showed off his iPhone 6 Plus:'I lied to my parents asking money for language school to buy this smartphone'.''

Although the story was not sure to be true or not but the lesson it gave us is undeniable. Behind the horrifying look of the tattoos man and his terrifying way of talking was a beautiful soul. The young dashing man with a good look, I can't say he's a bad person but I am sure that his ''content'' was not as everyone expected in him.
