This beggar is unhappy with a ten-peso alms

ANGRY BEGGAR. A male beggar of about 40 berated the housemaid of a family from whom he asked for alms early in the morning of last Friday. The housemaid, on instruction of her employer, gave the beggar a P10 coin, which angered the mendicant. "Diyes pesos ra? Kadato sa imong agawon, diyes ray mahatag," the beggar said. "Kamaayo ninyog pamutlag ulo." The housemaid got frightened and rushed inside the house. The beggar then left.
