Street photo. "Homeless, who dances"

This happened on the "Cherlak" wholesale in the city of Omsk on September 29, 2014. It was a warm, sunny, fine day. To me then, in order to make ends meet, I had to trade SIM cards in this market. But it's not about me now, it's about this character:

What do you think he is doing? Do not believe it, he dances ... He dances to make money. It does not matter what, the main thing is that he, even in such a difficult situation, did not break down, fell on his knees and did not start begging. He continues to work. I have never seen such people before.

Just look at him: in the hand of a Cigar, he dances and smiles. I wonder what he thinks about at that moment ... Maybe about how he will spend money, which he will get for his efforts ... Or maybe about his past life, where he was happy.

I was afraid that he would be offended, because he was being filmed, so he did not come close. But he kind of reacted normally. He liked that he was noticed, and I was glad that I did not upset the old man.

Everyone knew this person on the market. From hunger, he was not down, there were always people who were ready to help him. No one drove him away, but not many valued his craft. Most simply passed by, but there were people who cheered and threw coins.

Later, a couple of months later, I again came to work on the wholesale and found out that my grandfather had died. It froze. Grandpa was exhausted.

About him probably no one will remember, but I will immortalize him in the history of the detachment. Let him now dance here:
