Rich Man Humiliates Boy Shining Shoes in Underpass

“My dog could do a better job with his tongue!” A wealthy man insults a poor

boy shining shoes in an underpass and refuses to pay. But fate brings them

face-to-face again the very next day, with a surprising twist neither could have expected.

The underground passage echoed with the shuffle of hurried footsteps. Amidst the hustle,

14-year-old Martin sat quietly by the wall, his shoe-shining kit spread

before him. His eyes darted hopefully at each passing shoe, praying for a customer…

“Just a handful,” he whispered to himself. “Just a handful today, please.”

As the day wore on, Martin’s stomach growled in protest. The meager breakfast of two

bread slices felt like a distant memory. He reached for his water bottle, taking a small sip to quell the hunger pangs.

“You can do this, Martin,” he told himself. “For Mom and Josephine.”

The thought of his paralyzed mother and little sister waiting at home bolstered his courage.

He plastered on his best smile, ready to tackle whatever the day would bring.

“Shoe shine, sir? Ma’am?” he called out, his voice barely audible above the din of the underpass.

Hours ticked by, but no one stopped. Martin’s hopes began to dwindle, but he refused to give up.

As the afternoon sun beat down, he finally allowed himself a moment of respite.

Digging into his worn leather bag, he pulled out a small orange, his lunch for the day.

Just as he began to peel it, a pair of dirty brown leather shoes landed in front of him with a heavy thud.

“Hurry up, kid. Clean it. I’m in a rush,” a gruff voice barked.

Martin looked up, his heart racing with excitement and trepidation.

The man towering above him exuded wealth from head to toe. This could be his chance for a good tip.

“Right away, sir!” Martin said, setting aside his orange and reaching for his supplies.

As he worked on the brown leather shoes, the man’s impatience grew. “What’s taking so long? I don’t have all day!”

Martin’s hands trembled slightly, but he focused on giving his best service. “Almost done, sir. I promise it’ll look great.”

The man scoffed. “At your age, I was already making more than my father. I wasn’t shining shoes like some beggar.”
