A young man asks a homeless man to borrow his bucket, What happens next will burst you into tears..

It was an unlucky day for a homeless man in the street, when suddenly someone interrupted him and asked him to borrow his bucket. What happens next will break you into tears.

Three German students surprise a homeless guy


 
 
From the beginning of the clip, the tagline reads, “We walk. We hurry. Isolated. Focused on ourselves. We forget the people around us.” Indeed, every so often, we only think of ourselves to the point of neglecting others, even our family. If we sometimes forget our family, what more are those strangers like a homeless man begging for money in the street?

The tagline continues: “Today, we change it.” Then the camera focused on a homeless man sitting on the side of the street. This man was approached by one of the three German students.
A young man asked the homeless man to borrow his bucket. At first, the homeless man was hesitant, but he later agreed and handed over his bucket.
 
 
The guy sat down on the street beside the homeless man, then started tapping the bucket. The homeless man said “not bad” for the guy’s simple performance on the bucket. The young man started to tap the bucket again, but put down his hat first. Immediately, a little kid dropped some money in the hat.
Few minutes later, another young man sat down on the other side of the homeless man and played his guitar while singing. Then, a young woman sat down beside this man and joined the two young men in singing while playing an egg shaker.

The three students gathered an audience out of the people walking in the street. Many people lend money in the hat.

After the three young students finished their performance, they got a round of applause from the passersby who watched them. They handed over the hat with money to the homeless man while saying, “Thanks for the bucket. Have a good day!”

Speechless, the man shakes the hand of the young man who borrowed his bucket. And another applause was heard from the background.

In the video, they produce another hat from the young woman’s bag and then they walked away.
This YouTube video that was uploaded by be japy e.V. has a caption: “In May of this year, we performed like this with more songs and WITHOUT a camera. We liked the message of what we were doing so we decided to turn it into a video in order to encourage others to possibly do the same.”

However, they hired an actor to take on the role of the homeless man since they did not want the idea of filming a distress person and putting it up on the internet.

Although the homeless man was just an actor, after all, the purpose of the video is what matters most.
No matter how busy we are with our everyday lives, we can always give few seconds from our time to help others, even just a simple prayer
