the pit of the fall

there comes June.
yesterday was the last day of May and instead of ending it on a high note, I ended it at the pit of a fall.
dragging my exhausted body and listless state of mind, I went somewhere and did 2 things wrong. Not gonna  say it out here since it is too embarrassing and that I really regret it.
then as I was on my way home with Jane, we saw this guy, sleeping on a cardboard by the streets. He was wearing a plain singlet, a boxers, and had no shoes. We decided to get him some food and water as we felt that it must be harsh out there to be all alone without anything. after stepping into 7-11, we bought a chicken rice pack thing and a big bottle of mineral water. As I left the items beside him, he woke up and pushed them away, and shoo-ed us. Seeing his hostile response, I decided not to force him to accept out kindness, so I took the food and water back to the 7-11. I placed them onto the counter and told the guy who attended to us previously to take them back and explained the reason why I bought them in the first place.
That cute replied "oh that guy back there is it? yea he is quite scary one. There was once I got him some bread and he reacted as though he wanted to punch and beat me up!"
That totally brought a smile to my face.
Well not because he was cute or that his words were funny, but because it lets me know that there are still some kind souls out there (':
Though he is just a cashier and staff in 7-11, he's gotten my respect.
nevertheless, still felt lousy and rotten due to my mistakes before all these..
