One past times 1 he scraped old flyers from poles on the Budapest sidewalk.
I was sitting inward my favorite restaurant, writing. Well, actually, I was looking out the window...and I saw him.
I lived inward Budapest almost five years as well as this was the solely fourth dimension I ever saw individual doing this thankless job.
I’d seen those sidewalk poles sum of old flyers announcing sale items, concerts, or flats for rent. But I’d never idea well-nigh individual cleaning them.
Scrape…scrape…scrape…he did his job, although no 1 noticed, as well as no 1 stopped to give cheers him.

I wondered if he felt unappreciated.
