I was walking down a busy street on

I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early winter. A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was begging for change on a street corner.A BMW car stopped on the other side of the street and a man who was well dressed stepped out of the car. He was probably about sixty years old．He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie.He walked across the street and over to the homeless man. Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of money and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves,beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks. Then he handed them to the homeless man. The homeless man took them and stared with anopen mouth.As he drove off,I can't stop thinking that it was probably the first time he had pressed the pedal of that top-brand BMW car with a bare foot! I stood there and the looks of surprise appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.Two men of about the same age but very different lives had met and the one who was successful in materials had offered more than his shoes. He had left this BMW car and stepped down from his highposition. He held up the other man when he offered respect, kindness and real generosity.
