The Homeless Guy
Once upon a time...
...there was a cute rich girl who lived with her father in a big apartment in a big city. She had a beautiful golden ring that she got from her mother when she died. She loved the ring very much and nothing else was more precious than the ring.
On hot days she used to sit on the balcony in the sun and sunbathing.
But one day the ring sliped of her finger while she was sunbathing. The ring rolled over the balcony edge and fell down to the ground. The girl hurried down the stairs and ran out to the place under the balcony. There was trash cans all over the place!
"Oh no! I will never find it here!" she shouted and start to cry.
Suddenly someone said: "Waz'up, puppet?"
When she turned around she saw the neighbourhoods homeless guy. He was all dirty and smelled funny...
"Oh, it's you?" she said.. "If you wanna know why I'm crying, it's because I lost my precious ring in one of these trash cans!
"I can look for it for you", he said. "What will I get in reward?"
"Whatever you want! My jewellery?" she suggested. "Or my brand new headset? It was very expensive!"
"And what am I going to do with that...? Listen to nothing?" he said. "No, I will search for your ring if you can be my friend and eat dinner with me in your apartment and let me sleep in your room."
"OK, whatever you want!" she said, but thought the suggestion was a bit odd.
The homeless guy started to search for the ring in the trash cans, and soon he found it! He wiped of the dirt from the ring with his filthy shirt and gave it to the girl. She ran away without saying thank you.
"Wait!" he shouted. "I can't run as fast as you! ...I have an injury in my foot..." But she didn't hear him.
The girl forgot about the homeless guy and his kindness. But the very same night, when she was having dinner with her father, she heared someone walking up the stairs and soon they stopped by the front door. Someone knocked at the door and shouted:
"Girl with the ring! Open up!"
Curious she opened the door, but when she saw the homeless guy, she slamed the door right in his face.
The father saw that his doughter was frightened, so he asked as a joke: "Have the emo-kid from school come to cut you, love?"
"No dad, it's just the homeless guy from the neighbourhood..." she said.
"Well, what does he want?" he wondered.
The girl explained what happend earlier that day, and some new knockings came from the front door. "Let me in, puppet", he begged. "Have you forgotten what you promised? I am homeless, but that doesn't mean I like to bath in trash cans..."
"Dear, you have to keep your promise. He did a nice thing for you," said the father and the girl did as she was told. She opened the door and showed the homeless guy to the dining room.
"Can you get me a chair, puppet? I rather not sit on the floor..." the homeless guy said and smiled.
"Don't be ridicoulus", said the girl, but when she saw her fathers harshed look he gave her, she did as the homeless guy pleaded.
"I see you are out of food, but you puppet, got some food on you plate. Give me your's", said the homeless guy.
The girl did as he pleaded, but the look on her face told that she didn't like to share the last food.
When the homeless guy was done he said: "Now I'm tired and wanna sleep. Show me you room."
Just the thought of shareing her room with the filthy homeless guy made her cry. But the father said: "Cheer up dear. You can't let the boy down when he was so kind to you, when you needed help."
"You're right, dad!" she said and showed the homeless guy her room.
"So where can I sleep?" he asked.
"There can you sleep", she said and pointed on the couch in her room. He walked to the couch and tryed it.
"I wanna sleep in you bed", he said. "Or else I will tell your father."
The girl did as he pleaded with a disgusted look on her face when she thought about the filthy homeless guy sleeping in her bed and make it all dirty! But just when she almost falled asleep on the couch, she heard the homeless guy crying. "What's the problem now? Too hot for you in a bed with a real blanket?" she asked.
"In my whole life I've dreamed of a real friend", he said, "but I notice that you don't even like me. I should get back to my trash cans!"
The girl got bad conscience. She walked to the bed and sat down on the egde of the bed. "I will be your friend", she said and this time she meant it. She bend forwards and gave the homeless guy a goodnight-kiss on the cheek. The homeless guy got happy and felt ashamed when he thought about how dirty he was. So he asked where the bathroom was and didn't come out for a long time.
But wow! Did the girl got surprised when she saw the clean guy coming out from the bathroom?! The homeless guy was so clean that his dark face now where light and soft, and his hair was no longer brown and grease, it was blond and shiny!
The homeless guy and the girl got best friends, and the father was so kind so he made a room for the homeless guy to live in their apartment. After a couple of years they got married and lived a happy rich life together!
