Lesson27(2) Nothing to sell and nothing to buy
A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him.
He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences.
He may never be sure where the next meal is coming from,
but he is free from the thousands of anxieties which afflict other people.
His few material possessions make it possible for him to move from place to place with ease.
By having to sleep in the open,
he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do.
He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally to keep himself alive;
he may even,
in times of real need, do a little work;
but he will never sacrifice his freedom.
We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars,
but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?
