The flea market was loud.
Voices echoed between rows of old clothes, tools, and forgotten things. In the middle of it all, two dogs sat quietly inside a metal cage. A small sign hung above them:
“For Sale.”
They didn’t bark.
They didn’t move.
They just watched people pass by.
Then a poor man stopped.
His clothes were worn, his shoes dusty, but his eyes softened when he saw the dogs. He leaned closer to the cage, studying their faces. They stood up, tails moving slowly, sensing something different about him.
After a moment, the man reached into his pocket.
He counted a few bills in his hand and handed them to the seller.
The cage opened.
The man walked away with two dogs by his side.
Later that day, the noise of the market faded into a narrow, quiet alley. The man sat down against a brick wall, the dogs settling beside him. There was no table. No home. Just a small space to rest.
His stomach growled.
The dogs stood up.
Without being told, they walked away down the street.
Minutes passed.
Then they returned.
Each dog carried a small bag of bread in its mouth, taken from a nearby diner. The man looked up in disbelief as they placed the food in front of him.
He reached out with shaking hands.
The dogs sat proudly, watching him eat.
In a world where he had almost nothing, he had chosen to give.
And in return, he received something priceless.
