A Day In the Life - Act 7
He sat on a bench in the Boston Common one day and watched children play, people drinking LATTE’S walk their dogs, the homeless scavenge, and the alkies and addicts beg for money. A somewhat disheveled gentleman asked him for money to buy food. He replied: “Well you’re in luck I was just about to go to lunch would you like to come along?” The gentleman hesitated and quietly asked: “Really?” And they were off for burgers, fries, coffee and dessert. It may not have been a happy meal but it brought a smile to both their faces.
