down this street.”
Elijah thought to himself for a brief moment.
“Of course anything to help.”
The old lady looked at Elijah and smiled.
“ Well seeing as how you’re a tall young man you can take these.”
With that the old lady gave all but her purse to Elijah and started walking. Elijah
followed keeping his head low so that no one would try and talk to him. The old
lady led Elijah to a small apartment complex.
“Well here we are son. You can just drop the bags off right here.”
Elijah did as he was told and put the bags down in front of her door step.
“Ok is there anything else you’d like me to help you with mam?”
“Oh that’s all thank you very much.”
“ Well I’ll get going now.”
The old lady looked at Elijah and smiled.
“Well before you leave let me repay you.”
“Oh you don’t have to do that.”
