Ahmed and Hamid are both beggars at several traffic
lights in Sydney.
Ahmed drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free
house, and has a lot of money to spend.
Hamid only brings in 2 to 3 dollars a day.
Hamid asks Ahmed how he manages to bring home a
suitcase full of $10 notes every day.
Ahmed says; " Look at your sign, it says, I have no
work, a wife and six kids to support."
"Aussies who see that do not feel as if they
accomplish anything by giving you money. You will
still have no job and a large family whether they give
you money or not!"
"Now look at my sign!"
So Hamid looks and Ahmed's sign reads, "I only need
another $10 to move back to Lebanon!
