有一個斷了右臂的乞丐,任何人見了也會向他施捨。

有一天,他來到一個農戶人家叫化子,女主人要求他先把門前的一堆磚塊搬到後院。

乞丐向女主人說:「妳明明看到我只有一隻手,卻讓我搬磚塊,這不是存心捉弄我嗎?」

沒想到女主人自己蹲下來,故意用一隻手搬起磚塊,來回走了一趟,然後她對乞丐說:「我一隻手也能搬磚,為何你只有一隻手也不能搬磚?」

乞丐無言以對,硬著頭皮用他那一隻手慢慢搬磚,整整幹了兩個小時才搬完,累得滿頭大汗。

農婦遞給他一條白毛巾,乞丐擦完臉和脖子後,白毛巾變成黑毛巾。

農婦又給他二十元錢,乞丐接過錢連聲道謝。

農婦說:「你不用謝我,這是你用自己的汗水換來的工錢。」

乞丐說:「我永遠不會忘記妳,請妳把這條毛巾留給我作紀念。」

過了若干年後,這位乞丐穿著一身洋服再次來到這家農戶,見到年邁的女主人激動地說:

「我從前是乞丐,現在是一家雜貨店的老闆,是你幫助我找回失去的尊嚴,重建生活的信心,如果沒有妳,我也許還在四處流浪。」

農婦說:「這是你自己努力的成果。」

獨臂雜貨店老闆提出送給農婦一間村舍,農婦婉言謝絕。

獨臂雜貨店對此大惑不解,農婦笑著說:「因為我全家人還有一雙手,還可以勞動。」

人要活得有尊嚴,尊重自己、尊嚴我們認識的人,還要尊重我們不認識的人。能夠做自己喜歡的事,雖然賺錢不多,但比起很多富貴卻出賣心靈人格的商賈,更值得敬佩。
