May: Come back. You haven't paid yet.
Boss: May, just let him go.
May: But he took some newspaper away without paying.
Boss: I know.
May: Why? You make me confused.
Boss: He lives nearby and he would just glance at the newspaper headlines, read the political sections and return them later.
May: Why does he have such a privilege?
Boss: He used to be a hero during the war time and everyone respect him.
May: I see. Does he live by himself?
Boss: Yes, he has no children and his wife passed away when he was in the battle.
May: He must be lonely?
Boss: I bet. But he is always busy telling the children stories.
May: How respectable!
