A Street Beggar
A street
beggar is the poorest fellow on earth. With a bowl in hand or bag hanging from
his shoulder, he begs from person to person. He tries to rouse our pity by
describing loudly his tale of sorrows and the great virtue of giving alms. Some
people being compassionate (kind) give him a coin but people generally feel distribute
at his loud pitiful cries. But he complains against none. Some beggars stand or
sit on the footpath and beg by singing or uttering a few words. In the urban
areas the street beggar has no permanent house of his own. He lives in the
veranda of some public building or in the market-place. But in the rural areas
he possesses small dilapidated hut. He is the humblest person in society. He is
physically weak and often crippled, blind or very old. He lives on the mercy of
others, so has no prestige. The only aim of his life is to get a meal and if he
gets it he is happy. We should be kind and sympathetic the street beggar as he
has none to support him.
