What can tell you is, please take it back. I don't need it. Also, I'd like to rest for a bit, so please don't disturb me." "Doesn't your foot hurt? Why refuse someone's kindness?" The young man persisted in his pestering.
"Kindness from unknown people may bring more pain in the future than today's pain." With that, I turned and left.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you
anymore. I never thought you would really get angry." He grabbed my wrist and stood in front ofwith a smile. "Letintroduce myself. My nis Xavier King.
