Mr B

Mr B was a homeless kid I met when afternoon when Damon was sick. I was having a beer (while Damon was sick) with Small Frog, a guy from a restaurant. Mr B came over and we had a bit of chat. Small Frog told me that Mr B lives on the river alone and has no family. So I bought him a Coke. And then I gave him a half a pork roll which he took and was so grateful for. Later on Damon came down and Mr B's friend (who was also homeless)joined us. We ended up sitting there for hours, they taught us to count and we taught them Aussie slang as you do! I tried to give Mr B the rest of the pork roll but he refused because he was already full so I made him take it for later. We gave his friend the other one we had as well. I have never met such grateful little people. Damon went to buy ciggies and the friend went with him. I waited with Mr B at the restaurant. When they got back his friend had bought us all an icy pole - out of his own pocket. Damon said he was so excited to bring them back to us and surprise us! I must have had a few beers by then because i got a little teary. These poor kids have next to nothing yet were still willing to give something back. So thank you Mr B and your little friend x
