And the next day at noon, I walked down to Chester Street and waited for the man to appear. Now, this was a town of 1,200 people, and no one ever walked the streets during the day, because everybody was at work. So, for a long time, I didn't see a single soul in sight. I paced up and down for almost an hour, wondering, "Lord, where is he?" Eventually, a man did come by - but I knew he wasn't an angel, because he was puffing away on a cigarette.
Naisip ko, "Salamat po, Panginoon - ikaw ay totoong tapat." At nang sumunod na araw, lumakad nga ako pababa sa daang may ngalang Chester ay nagantay na may lumabas na tao. Ngayon, ito ay isang bayan na may mga 1,200 na katao, at wala man lamang lumakad na tao sa daang iyon sa araw na iyon, dahil lahat ng tao ay nasa hanapbuhay.
