Description:
C., a needy man, knocks on the doors of a neighbor building and asks its residents for some bread for his starving children. P. opens the door and they engage in long conversation about selfishness. P. shares bread to prove he’s a good person, but the next day when he enters the elevator he sees a note: “Dear residents, Yesterday I came to your building, because my family was starving. I’ve went through every floor, knocking on every door. And none of you, not even one soul in this building gave me anything. I wanted to let you know. ” Aggravated and embarrassed of what neighbours will think of him, P. tears off the note and pays a visit to C. After a heated conversation, C. starts typing more notes. Shocked and furious, P. smashes a typewriter on C’s head in front of his children. He returns to his building and plans to knock on every door to let everyone know that he has actually shared bread with C.
