"You need more money!" "For the water!" A young man standing behind the other man grabbed his shoulder and shouted loudly in his ear, making him move back.
Brandon paid attention to everything. He wanted to get involved, but he didn't want to make the shoppers angry. At the same time, the old man said he didn't have enough money and requested a smaller bottle of water because he needed to take his medication.
"If you don't have enough money to pay, you will need to leave." The cashier yelled.
"Can I leave?" He smiled and started to go, but the cashier quickly reached over the counter and took the water bottle from his hand. "Just leave, old man!" she whispered angrily. "You are causing too many problems!"
"Go away, old person!" A woman in the middle of the line shouted.

The old man asked for his medicine, but no one listened to him.
Brandon was fed up. He walked up to the person at the cash register and offered to pay for the elderly man.
"Please be kind," he said as he poured out his cup onto the counter. The woman looked at him with dislike before she counted the money.
"That will be enough," she said, taking all the money, even his last $2. "Now, move out of the way. "You are maintaining your position."
Brandon left his can of beans on the counter and gave the older man the water.
"Here you are, sir." "I brought you some water," he said slowly and clearly, making sure the man could see his face in case he needed to read his lips. And the man expressed his gratitude. They walked out of the store together. Brandon went towards his tent on the empty piece of land next to the station, but the man stopped him.
