When Sofia decided to operate on a sick beggar, she knew the risks. The operation was illegal and could cost her her job, but she knew she couldn’t leave someone in need on the streets like that. But when her boss found out about the illegal operation, he wasn’t as kind-hearted as her. She was fired on the spot. But this was not the end, because the beggar was not who he said he was.
The beggar heard Sofia and her boss arguing outside of his room. She had just finished surgery on him, so he was feeling very weak. But when he listened to her boss firing her, he couldn’t stay in bed any longer. So he slowly got up and walked over to the door.
He opened the door, and Sofia and her boss immediately stopped arguing. “Oh, no, you shouldn’t be up... Please lay down again, Mister.” Sofia asked him kindly. But the beggar wasn’t about to do that. “Doctor, I couldn’t help but hear your conversation,” the beggar began. “I have something to confess….”
Sofia looked at the man with a confused look. “What do you mean?” she asked him. “Well,” he said. “I haven’t been entirely honest about my identity. You see, I’m not a beggar.” Sofia couldn’t believe what she was hearing….
But why did the beggar lie about his identity? Who was he, really? And will Sofia forgive him?
Sofia had been rushing to the hospital for her night shift when she first saw the beggar. She had noticed him from the corner of her eye but couldn't stop as she was already running late. She had promised herself that she would help him the next time she saw him.
