Mitchell buys a cup of coffee at his local 1 café every morning. He always sees the same homeless 2 man sitting outside. This man waits for people to come out. He asks everyone for change. Although 3 the homeless man is very friendly 4, Mitchell does not like him. "He is useless 5 and lazy," Mitchell always said 6.
One morning, Mitchell was 7 running 8 late to work. He stormed 9 out of the café doors. Then, he ran 10 across 11 the street to his car. Since 12 he was in a hurry, he did 13 not check for traffic 14. Suddenly 15 all he saw 16 was a big white truck about to run him over. Luckily, the homeless man pushed 17 Mitchell out of the way just in time to save 18 his life 19. Mitchell gave 20 him five dollars every morning after that.
