(Short story) A person in need

It was late noon in the middle of March. The street was empty – there were no cars, nor people. The sun rays were shining somehow different, falling thru the branches of an old tree on the ground, close to a house on a corner. Then suddenly appeared a figure of a person. He was tall and thin like a plank. He had an old dark-yellow jacket, black winter hat and a grey cami-knicks. He wandered for a moment and then make some steps towards the house. His walk was uneasy and his body had tangle moves. Then he stopped under one of the house’s windows. He rummaged in the inside pocket of his jacket and took out something red. It was an woman old wallet. He opened it very carefully and after that his expression changed dramatically. You could see surprise and irritation upon his face. He turned around the wallet and shook it - somehow he wanted to show that, it is empty. Then like from nothingness, on the dark window of the house - appeared a person. He opened the window and stretched his hand towards the other person’s wallet and said: - Here..., I have some spare coins! – His cupped hand was full of coins.
