“Beggars can’t be choosers. I shall take what’s offered,” he shouted back at her.

With moist eyes, but a stern voice she said, “That’s untrue! Cause even beggars
continued, “What do you
right and take the retest?”
“Choice is yours!”

For sure, the choice is always ours. :) Love the message!
I am left to wonder if begging is the easier choice? I mean, I wouldn't choose it. To me it seems way to difficult. I'd rather just have a job.
Ruchira, your story makes me think that we often make choices out of fear. But we do have a choice, even if they are not easy, they are often better for us in the long run. Mama is wise.
