Junk picker

When I came back from the market in the morning, I saw an old man beside the trash can. His clothes seem to have been worn for many years, wrapped around him like rags. Carrying a big sack behind him, there are bottles and cans he picked up. I saw his hand reaching into the trash can, as if he were digging for some treasure. He was in a good mood when he found some drink bottles. If he is unlucky and finds nothing, he will not lose heart and continue to turn over a trash can.

? Every time I pass in front of him, he will smile and nod, but when others see him, he always makes a detour and rushes by. At this time, he will open the sack like Batman and expose his thin and unclean body to the sunny and healthy pedestrians.

? Once, I happened to meet him when I passed by the gate of a primary school, and I saw him asking a child who was drinking water for an empty bottle. As soon as the children heard it, they threw it on the ground and said, "You have to pick it up yourself!" " "Then the children kicked the bottle away together. The old man was not angry either. After the children left, they silently walked to the place where the bottle fell, stretched out their dead hands, carefully picked it up and gently put it in the sack behind them. I can't help picking it up for him. He saw it, smiled at me and said, "I'll do it." So he picked up the bottle and limped away with his bag on his back.

? Later, when I was chatting with my neighbor, he told me that he had severe rheumatic leg disease and was lame. There is a pair of children at home who are usually very kind to him, but he says he is bored at home and sees some people littering and destroying the ecological environment. I see! How great it is for our environment that the old man carries bags of garbage with his thin body!
