Begging and alms collecting should be properly checked. A Twist

I believe begging should be thoroughly examined, and those found guilty should face appropriate consequences. By "those" I mean individuals who are physically capable, with no health issues, possessing two hands and two legs. These people often earn more than hardworking civil servants who strive to make a living. Yesterday, while returning from work, I encountered a man from my neighborhood begging for alms. I was surprised to see him, and it seemed he was equally taken aback by my presence. This man is one of the respected individuals in our area and is known to be wealthy. He recently acquired a red Benz, adding to the two cars he already owned, in addition to his mansion. Many assume he is involved in import and export business, while others believe he is a politician based on his attire. Personally, I had always assumed he was a bank manager due to his early morning departures for work.

Filled with surprise, I observed him for about five minutes. He circled around with a black-tinted glass and a walking stick, pretending to be blind. I wanted him to see me, to understand that I had discovered his secret means of livelihood. Approaching the spot where he stood, I used my own walking stick to tap his leg. He smiled, and then we went our separate ways, continuing to beg for alms in our respective locations.
