*Charity*
* *
*My wife and I met her on the corner of Rua Constante Ramos in Copacabana.
She was about 60 year old, sitting in a wheel-chair, lost in the crowd. *
*
*
*My wife offered to help her and the woman accepted the offer, asking us to
take her to Rua Santa Clara.*
* *
*There were a few plastic bags hanging from the back of the wheel-chair. On
the way, she told us that they contained all her belongings. She slept in
shop door-ways and lived off handouts.*
* *
*We reached the place where she wanted to go. Other beggars were gathered
there. The woman took two packets of long-life milk from one of the plastic
bags and gave it to the other members of the group.*
* *
*‘People are charitable to me, and so I must be charitable to others,’ she
said.*
