Rich Man Defends Little Girl Begging near Shop, Realizes He Had Seen Her Emerald Eyes Before — Story of the Day
A rich man rescues a poor little girl begging outside a city mall when a guard threatens to kick her out. However, when he gets a better look at her, he’s bewildered by her huge, innocent emerald eyes, which he recognizes from somewhere else.
Businessman Tyler Fisher couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a little girl begging passers-by for money in front of a downtown shop. The guards threatened her, but she refused to leave and remained seated on the stairwell.
A guard eventually grabbed her arm and began dragging her down the steps. The poor girl started crying, and Tyler just couldn’t stop himself from helping her.
“Excuse me, sir!” he called out to the guard. “Please calm down! And leave that little girl alone.”

“Ugh, man! Really? Why are you….ugh, okay, do whatever you want! But I don’t want to see her bothering anyone else again. If I do, I’ll kick her out!” he muttered as he walked away.

“Hello there! My name is Tyler. And you are?”
“My name is Sophie,” the little girl said, brushing away her tears.
“So, Sophie, what are you doing here by yourself? Where are your mom and dad?”

“Ah, I see. Don’t worry, Sophie. I will help you.” Tyler smiled brightly at her. “How about I help you buy some food for your younger brother and new clothes for yourself? Your clothes appear to be soiled. There’s a mall right here. Would you like to come with me?” he asked, extending his hand for her to hold.
