Generosity

‘’Saint in disguise,billionare pledges to donate his entire amount to


charity’’reads the newspaper.A victorious win,I mutter to myself as a
grin passes over my face–surely this is enough of an evidence
against our elders’s slow faculty.I wander through the pages,light
hearted before an old woman knocks herself down infront of
me.The groceries flying in the moving bus,she trips over badly

wells of mistrust glares angrily through their curtains thwarting my

news of stock exchange,each in anticipation over the next dollar
rise.Arriving at the literary desk she asks the man towering over her
hoarsely,’’Could you please help me fill out my sons application
form.The man turns visibly annoyed at this interruption over his
phone conversation as he dismissed her with the wave of his hand.
‘’Mr Parker’’says the secretary breaking my thoughts’’The boss
