Mason followed his mother to
the market as usual. It was a thing he enjoyed because the market was such an
exciting place. There was always something interesting to see.
That day, Mason caught
sight of a middle-aged man with untidy hair and old clothes. He was a beggar.
He held out a wooden bowl and passers-by dropped in coins. Mason's mother put a
small coin into the bowl as she passed him by. His eyes followed the mother and
son as they set off for home.
As Mason and his mother
turned into the narrow path that led to their house, he suddenly realized that
the beggar was following them. Mason told his mother about it. Alarmed, she
quickened her steps and as soon as they got inside their house, she locked it.
Mason peered out the window and saw the beggar sitting on the ground near the
gate. Why did the beggar follow them? Mason wished he knew.
After a couple of hours,
Mason's mother became concerned for the poor beggar. He had not moved from his
spot. She gathered up her courage and went to ask the beggar to leave. But the
beggar merely looked at her with a gentle smile. Worried that he would fall ill
with no food and water, she sent Mason to give him a bowl of rice and
vegetables and some tea. The beggar ate and drank. Then he lay down under a
tree to sleep.
Mason's mother was at a loss
as to what else to do. She was just a poor woman with a young son. Since the
beggar refused to leave, she and Mason built a little shelter for him. He
seemed content with whatever they gave him.
A week passed and one day,
Mason found the beggar gone. Mason and his mother searched for him but he was
nowhere to be found. They didn't know what had happened to him.

Now that he was rich, he liked to look for deserving people to help. When he, making himself a beggar, met someone who was kind to him, he would give that person a sum of money. And then, the beggar appeared. Paragraph 2: The rich man who had pretended to be the beggar took out a large sum of money. He wanted to give Mason and his mother the money because they had been kind to him. Mason and his mother couldn't believe their good fortune. They treated the beggar well out of sympathy. They never expected to be so richly rewarded. How could they use the sum of money Mr. Cheong gave? "Granny can be saved from her serious illness…""Mason, you can go to college in time!" Mason and his mother both cried, smiling.
