There once was a beggar who neither had any money nor a place to sleep.
He wandered the countryside and stopped at a farm.
The beggar asked a favor of the owner. “Could I please stay here and work for you?” The owner of the farm answered, “OK, but you must do your best.”
The beggar worked so hard that the owner became fond of the beggar.
The owner had one daughter. The daughter pitied the beggar, who worked day and night. She gave him food and talked to him many times. So, the beggar started to like the daughter.
One day, the owner found out about this. The owner was very angry.
He kicked the beggar out of the house without a penny.
Thirty-five years passed. The owner was cleaning up his warehouse.
He found some of the beggar's belongings that had been left behind.
Beneath a bag was a book.
The beggar’s name was written on the cover of the book. The owner was shocked. The beggar’s name was the same name as the current President - Mr. James A. Garfield.
The owner regretted having kicked the now famous beggar out of the house.
He decided that one should never judge a person only by their appearance.
James Abram Garfield was the 20th. President of the United States.
He was born in Ohio on November 30, 1831.
