At a beautiful outdoor evening event, an older man in a simple gardener’s uniform carefully tended to a small potted plant.
A confident man in a sharp suit approached with a condescending smile. “This isn’t your world, remember that,” he said.
The gardener looked up with quiet dignity. “I’d rather be poor and kind than rich and cruel,” he replied softly.
The suited man smirked, clearly unimpressed.
Suddenly, an older gentleman in academic robes stepped forward. “This person saved my child’s life,” he declared firmly. “I suggest you reconsider your tone.”
The arrogant guest’s face turned to shock.
The gardener’s eyes filled with tears as he lowered his head, overwhelmed by the public recognition.
The older man stood protectively beside him.
The entire gathering watched in stunned silence
