Everyday the two workmen Tom and John collected garbage all around town. That day they were to finish their shift. Tom was on the driving seat. He told the other one that one more block was left. John agreed and said that they would better finish it faster.
They happened to be finishing their work that day. The last garbage was about to life and pour the garbage inside the van. It was bad part of the town and always some shady folks prowl in John's thought were seen at the streets there at night. Tom asked him what he was going to do.
Tom sat on the driving seat and John get down and attached the dumpster. Then he told him to lift it. Tom tried but it was too heavy. He asked what was in it. He also got down from the van and they opened the dumpster to see why it was so overloaded.
When they opened the dumpster, they couldn't believe their eyes. Tom asked looking inside, "What are you...doing in there?!" They both got surprised because a child was sitting in that dumpster! The boy was looking very scared of something.
Tom asked him to get out and forbade to be scared. He added that they were not going to hurt him. The boy get out of it and immediately started crying. He requested not to call his father. He begged this for several times. Tom felt pity on him and calmed him down. He forbade his to be scared.
He assured that they were not going to call his father. Then he asked if he lived with his father. He replied that he was living on the street then. Tom offered the boy to stay at his place overnight and then they would figure out what to do.
The man took the boy to his house. He lived there alone. He also helped him clean himself. He was no longer looking like a street boy. Tom cooked the dinner for both of them. At the dinner he asked the boy named Tony how he ended up in that situation. He replied that his dad was so mean and he was hurting him always. Moreover, there was no food at home.
Tony added that he was afraid of his father and didn't want to go back to him. Tom asked him maybe he had other family or someone who could take him in. Tony said that she had his grandmother in another town. But his father didn't allow him to talk to her.
Tom decided to help the child. He spent the following days searching for the boy's grandma. And soon he found her address. Then he didn't wait and went to her place. The woman asked him who he was. He sat in her place and explained to her what had happened. She became so sad hearing everything.
She exclaimed that was awful and wept. She said that she would surely take her boy in.
Tom took her to his home. As soon as she was in the doorstep, Tony rushed to her happily. She also hugged her grandson. After a CPS investigation, the boy's loving grandmother became his guardian. They stated that Tony's parental rights were no longer valid. From then his grandmother would be the child's legal guardian.
They were at the train station because Tony was leaving the town with his granny. She thanked Tom and said if it hadn't been for him, she might have lost the child. Tony also said to him that he was the nicest man he had ever met. He also thanked Tom.
He didn't do anything extraordinary. But his kindness saved a little life. We all are capable of that. Do good. It's the only way to save this world.
