it was friday the 13th of july
There is a footpath just opposite
my school. I once saw a beggar sitting there in a dark corner unnoticed by
anybody. After that, I used to meet him every day at the same place. Slowly, I
began talking to him on days I was early to school. Although I never told him
anything about myself, he used to tell me a lot about himself. He became an
orphan at a very young age. Due to his hard work, he had become a good
businessman. Unfortunately, he once took a wrong decision that changed his life
forever. His business ran into a huge loss and he had to wind up everything
without a penny in hand.
I told my father about him and he agreed to give him a small job in his factory. I was so happy and waited to meet him on my way to school. To my surprise, he was not there at his usual place. I asked a few people nearby and none of them could tell me what happened to him. For two days, he was nowhere to be seen. I was both eager and restless to know what happened to him. Then, suddenly on the third day, I saw him in the same corner. He waved out to me and I ran to him. The beggar said that he had fallen sick and fainted. A kind passerby working for an NGO had got him admitted to the hospital. After taking treatment for two days, he was discharged. Since he had nowhere to go, he came back to his usual place. I told him what my father had said and he was more than happy to join him.
"It was a Friday the 13th of July when I was walking past the old crooked house down the street at around 7 pm in the evening.
There was no one around, but suddenly I heard someone whispering “Go away!”.
I was frightened to death and thus ran away from there.
