Chuck was a one-handed man. He was not this by born. In fact, he was so heroic in his life and that heroism made his fate like this. He is still a fighter and trying to move forward in his life.
He used to live in a group house. Though he had only one arm, he was not idle. He cooked there and earned money through this. He was facing problems continuously. But his fellow workers helped him a lot. Everything was going well until the day the group home closed.
Chuck woke up that morning and went to the kitchen. But he found out that all of his fellow workers were standing in a queue there. He thought it was not the salary giving day and everyone was not happy or talking. They all looked sad. He went to them and they hugged him, they could not but cry.
When Chuck came to learn everything, he took his staff and saved money, and went out alone in search of an unknown future. He walked and then got on a bus. His purpose was to go to the central town. When he reached there it was noon and a perfect time for having lunch.
He went to a nearby restaurant. He himself had never eaten in a restaurant. But on the arrival day, he could not but try to treat himself. He actually wanted not to be sad. When he was eating, he saw the owner of the restaurant. He knew her!
He rushed towards her to talk. He was sure she could offer him a job. He was so optimistic but the owner had no sign that would prove she knew him. Moreover, she laughed at him as he wanted to work as a waiter there with only one hand. She rebuked him but give him a tough chance. She told him to clean three tables in just 2 minutes.
She started counting time. Chuck went to the tables but thought that even if he had two hands, it was tough for him to perform the work. However, he tried his best. And when he completed one table, he took the plates and was rushing towards the second table. But alas!
He could not grab the plates carefully and they fell down. The owner laughed at him because the time had already finished. She did not offer him a job; instead, she snatched all of his last money as the payment of the broken plates. Chuck only asked her if she could not remember him. But she already had left.
He had no money, no place. He made his hut from the paper on the roadside. Within a few days, he managed to get a job at a car washing company. It was not too much for his weak body. He could not eat enough, and also could not take medicines. As a result, one day while washing a car, he fainted in front of a luxurious car.
The owner came to him and could recognize him. She was surprised to see the man who saved her. Yes, Chuck was that man who saved her from a fire and lost his hand. She tried to do something for him and so took him to her home.
When Chuck opened his eyes, he saw the restaurant owner beside him! When she noticed that he was on his sense, she took his hands and thanked him. She told him that her sister could recognize him. He was that person who saved her sister's life. She also told that they had looked for him but everything went in vain. He replied that he was not in town because the authority had sent him to another town for rehabilitation.
As a gift of saving her sister's life, the owner of the restaurant gave him a job offer. She made him his manager. And yes, Chuck proved himself and became the best manager. The owner also had learned many things while being with him. Now, she arranges a food festival for the poor people every week. Moreover, in a day 5 hungry people are fed free in her restaurant, and many more.
