油漆工的善举
A homeless man was given the shock of his life after asking for some spare change(零钱) from some painters who offered him a job instead. The heartwarming thing took place in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, where two men were painting a wall when the homeless man came. The homeless man asked the pair for some change, and after they asked if he had been drinking that day, the man replied that he hadn’t. They gave him a paint brush and they knew he could work safely without alcohol(酒精).
He then continued to help the men paint the wall on Copperas Street. The men gave him some advice of the job as they worked and paid the homeless man after finishing the job.
The random act of kindness was caught on camera by Darren Wheatcroft, who himself had been asked for change by the homeless man earlier in the day. He told the Manchester Evening News, “One of the painters asked him if he’d been drinking, and the homeless man said he hadn’t. They had a bit of a long chat and then the homeless man put his bag down and picked up a paint brush and got to it. He was being given tips and shown what to do. It was really great to see this. It was a really good deed. They took someone off the street and gave him work and he was going to get paid at the end of it.”
