All is not lost

I had been knocking on doors for a long time, and although I auditioned in several companies they never called me. My wife left me, she could not stand the situation, leaving my son who had mainly to feed; my world was collapsing.
One morning when leaving a job interview, a hurried man approached me, he had an emergency and asked me $ 5 to pay for the taxi, with the hassle he forgot his wallet. They were my only $ 5 I did not know what to do at that time, but nevertheless I gave them to them.
I walked to my house thinking what to do with my life, despair invaded me, lost hope. The next day they knocked on my door, it was that man to whom I gave the $ 5, he went to return them and to offer me the job that the previous day had gone to look for; my mind is clouded, I could not believe it, not all is lost, I thought but who is he? He was the owner of the company he had helped without knowing.
