Every morning John would drive by Waterloo Road and every morning he would stop and give the resident beggar $100.00. After a period of time John started to give the beggar $50.00. The Beggar noticing that his money has been reduced was not too pleased, but said nothing. John then dropped to $20.00. The Beggar noticing this further decrease became noticeably upset and decided to speak to John about it. He stopped John one morning after accepting the $20.00 and said, 'Wah really a gwaan man.. yuh use to give me $100.00, den yuh cut it down ...to $50.00 now is $20.00 Wah yuh really a gwaan wid?' John replied, 'Boy, times get hard enuh. Mi oldest boy just start university and mi daughter deh a High School now...so you know how it guh.' The now irate beggar asked in a tone of disbelief, 'So wait deh, no man.... wah yuh a try tell me say, a outa MY money yuh a send YUH pickney dem go a school?
