Homeless Man Repays Workers Who Gave Him Tea In Boldest Way

While we sometimes blame the homeless for their lots in life, it's easy to forget that most people living on the street didn't end up that way without a lot of bad luck. So when one British contractor was approached by a homeless man, he wasn't sure what to expect. But when the man opened his mouth, he had a story to share that blew the entire construction crew away.

A Typical Job

JayJay Murray was a contractor for Empire UPVC & Roofing Specialists based in northern London. He and his crew had just arrived at the scene of a new roofing project in 2017 when they noticed a strange sight across the street.

Asleep in the Park

It was a beautiful county park, filled with lush flowers and benches for relaxation. But on one of the benches there was a sleeping man who looked like he'd been there all night. As the work day started, the roofers kept thinking about him.

Cup of Tea

Collectively, they wanted to do something for the homeless man. So as the day came to an end, JayJay went over to the park, found the man, and offered him a cup of tea for the night — a very kind thing to do after a long day of work.

An Unexpected Question

The homeless man perked up and gratefully accepted their offer. However, before receiving his tea and thanking the workmen for their generosity, he asked a question that shocked them.
