A young man asks a homeless man to borrow his bucket, what happens next will burst you into tears

A German student was walking in the street and noticed a homeless man begging for money from pedestrians, without much luck..so the student asked him to borrow his bucket.


At first, the homeless man was hesitant but he later agreed and handed over his bucket to a stranger... what happened next will burst you to tears! Watch after the cut...

Waoh! At first, I didn't know what those German students were up to. But as the event unfolded, I saw they had neither silver nor gold to give the beggar! But they gave him their best! They kept him company, taking away loneliness from him, many passersby were drawn to the beggar and gave their substance to him. Above all they gave the man joy. They identified with a beggar who probably before now had no one to care for him. What a way to impact life positively! Those students have a left a message for us all!

oh my God, am crying.If only we all care about people around us,if the rich is bin caring to d poor and needy ones, dis life wud av bin a beta place. Lets all learn 2 put smiles on people face & help in our little way.

That's so nice what they did. Thought it would be more emotional though, based on Linda saying I'll burst into tears. I didn't.

Honestly, it is not just because they are white but it seem like their mentality over there and ours in Africa is just so different. they take things so simple but here, we complain about everything.

The man felt loved.even if nobody gave him money that day it would not bother him becos those men made his day.show a little bit of love and kindness, it will surely go a long way.

This video made me cry because of the kindness of those young people, our generation is so self centered and so self absorbed with material things that we dont care about the poor any more. We always find a reason not to give to the poor. Hopefully our children,s generation will be different.

Honestly wish a lot of people can take just a second of their time to just say hello to the person sitting next to them. Everybody is so much in rush that they forget to pay mind to the situation around them. I understand the hustle and bustle in life but it will be a good thing for us to take a
Moment and say "Hello and how are you doing" to someone out there. What an inspirational story. Hopefully this will open some people eyes. When you give, you will not lack

I saw a foolish man sat idle waiting for free money; having tools but didn't know the value, and I saw a 3 young lads who see opportunities wasting away, they made money in just 3 mins wit the same tools with which the man have, they reveal to me that, I don't need to be in wants, all I need to survive in around me, if only I can make use of my talents.

Linda Ikeji,thanks for making me cry so hard to the extend of taking pain killer bcos I was forced to watched other videos full of pity after that,thanks for reminding me the things i abandoned since i came to US due to stress .Thank you for this.

I wish you Linda will do a little bit of what you showed us that is if you are not into it already.
The money you shared as a politician here can help pay hospital Bill of a sick child out there,pay school fees,give life to a child & bags of rice to motherless kids even pay for a fan's school fees in the university with agreement for the fan to help others when done with schooling hereby making it a kind of foundation than dishing out money to those that don't need it,those that will leave your blog with the money & call you a old foolish cargo tomorrow & lots of other names i can't remember.your money might even pay for someone's abortion or evil plan.i'm not against your manna from heaven to your faithful fans o,THEY DON'T NEED IT LIKE OTHERS OUTSIDE YOUR BLOG !
Visit any general hospital around you & see for yourself,if your wealth is overflowing,open account for emergency for blog visitors incase of anything,pay in that money on monthly basics,call it LINDA IKEJI FAN'S FOUNDATION & SEE REASONABLE COMPANY BACK YOU UP.
There are lots to do with that than burning your money like smoke !!!!!!!!!
I REPEAT,THEY DON'T NEED IT & WILL LAUGH BEHIND YOU ! ! !
If you are mother Theresa,that is full of grace,get recharge card and distribute to them like other blogs owners are doing than this living for the moment life !
PEACE BE UPON YOU MY DEAR.(DIANA)
As for the disciples that loves "THANK YOU SO MUCH,pls I beg you in Jesus name,don't make the mistake of coming for me bcos i might make you do something that will warrant Jesus second coming sooner than expected !

I am so proud of these german students. I am a doctor and i have lived in germany for the past 6 years and i can tell you ,the mentality is different here. Nigerians esp the rich live ostentatious
lifestyles. The poor have been relegated to the

background. Nobody is fighting for them. The beggar in this video actually has a choice.There is social security for everyone including legal immigrants. The few beggars you see on the streets of germany have refused social help. But what abotu our loved Nigeria... they number hundreds of thousands.
Things can change in Nigeria. It all starts with each and everyone of us. Lets change our mindsets,lets stop hero-worshipping the people who steal from us.

So many Nigerian southerners hardly give a beggar a second glance, what more of giving alms. They wud rather give those thieving pastors to enrich themselves just bcos they are told wat they want to hear in church. Promises of prosperity.
