The Man, The Beggar and The Prawn Noodles.

Let me tell you a story about a Man, a Beggar and a plate of Prawn noodles.


One day a Man bumped into a beggar.
The beggar asked for $1.
The Man said i have no money today.
Next week, i promise you. you trust me. you come to Tampines i will give you $2.
The beggar said
But i stay in Jurong.
The Man said.
Nono i promise you. You come to Tampines i will give you $2.

The next week.
The Beggar thought long and hard.
and called The Man again to reconfirm.
The Man said,
Come to Tampines. I promise i promise to give u $2.
The Begger den decided. i think i can trust the Man.
i shall walk from Jurong to Tampines.
cause he can give me $2.
ill be really happy. the happiest i have ever been.

so the Beggar walked and walked and walked.

The Man went to Tampines and was waiting for the Beggar.
Then he saw a aunty selling prawn noodles.
The aunty's prawn noodles were very nice, famous, well sought after.
Everyone wants a bite.
but he's allergic to prawns.
but they smelled too delicious. too tempting.
suddenly. the $2 seemed better spent on a plate of prawn noodles.

He thought about it long and decided.
I shall buy the prawn noodles.
It will make me happy.
The Beggar will be fine.
Let me tell her.

By then, the Beggar was already at Simei.

Then the Man called the Beggar and said
I'm sorry. i am going to use the $2 to buy a plate of prawn noodles.
The Beggar said
no please wait for me. im almost there. i've already walked so far. my shoes are torn. my clothes are dirty.
The Man said,
sorry i already made up my mind. nothing you do can change my mind. i think the prawn noodles is better. i have decided. Dont come to Tampines anymore. Go back.

And than the Man bought the prawn noodles.

And the Beggar was left stranded in Simei.
She had tried her best.
she walked all the way from Jurong.
But she no longer knew where she was. Where is Simei.
She doesnt know how to go back to Jurong.

Did the Man cheat the Beggar?
What should the Beggar do now?
