Excellent display of humanity. Well done young man. I hope he grows to become a great and powerful leader of men and women.

Those are the people that buy you drinks and they don't know you. 

 

I'm in the 90%.

I’m not an alcoholic, I’m a drunk (not really), alcoholics have to go to meetings.  
 

Saw this on a T-Shirt in the city (NYC) 20 years ago.  A work buddy and I laughed our arses off, so I bought him the shirt when we saw later in a little shop.

 

He told me all these years later, he still has it.

 

As far as the story Solly, thanks for sharing.  I love reading stories like this one.  A very wise and caring young man.  Those kind of attributes should pay wonderful dividends as he grows up.

Smart kid. If I was that small I'd probably befriend the biggest kid in the class too. Schools these days are rough and it's all about survival!

I’ve found that falling down drunks are very giving. They may wake up in the morning wondering where the tv is, but they’re very charitable.

 

🤷‍♂️
Nice story, btw.

Great story but I think they ripped off the plot of a 'Boy Meets World' episode where Cory buys Shawn a nice Xmas gift due to Shawn being poor, except Shawn is too proud to accept. 

 

***correction: he gave him one of his 'best gifts' that his parents got him (a basketball). He didnt buy shnitt

Truly, a classic. And a masterpiece. The juxtaposition of Cory's privilege, and Shawn's self destructive pride gave off Scorsese vibes. If someone is going to rip off a plot, this is the one to plagiarize.

[That's No Moon]

Not to burst everyone's City of Good Neighbors bubble, but the kids that were bullying the kid are Buffalonians too and there was more than one of them.

It's a simple message, but man, children tend to be vile monsters.

 

It's nature.
