Every morning John would drive down Long
Lane. And almost every morning he would
stop and give the resident beggar $20.
After a while John started to give the beggar
$10. The Beggar, noticing that his money has
been reduced was not too pleased, but said
nothing.
After a while John started to give the Beggar
$5. The Beggar, noticing this further decrease
became noticeably upset and decided to speak
to John about it.
He stopped John one morning after accepting
the $5 and said, "What's happening man, yuh
used to give me $20, then you cut it down
to $10, and now this?
John replied, "Bwoy, times have been hard; my eldest boy just started University and my daughter is now at High School ... so you know how it goes ..."
The beggar looked at him with impatience and asked, "Exactly how many children do you have boss?"
"Four" replied John.
The now irate Beggar asked in a tone of disbelief, "So you mean to tell me that is out of my money yuh sending yuh children to school?"
