It was winter… the clear sky was dark as the sun had already set, and the cold winds that blew around the city stopped most of the people from going out.
While most families and people in Chicago remained inside their cozy and warm houses, a young man was out for a stroll, enjoying the cold breeze, and taking the chance to catch a breath of fresh air.
He was on a bridge that crossed the Chicago River, and he stood still, watching the water flow below him as a couple of people passed by behind him.
The loud chatter of a group of five boys reached his ears…
"Hey, I… don't think that's good for you"
Said one of them clearly trying to ridicule the phrase he had just said
As soon as was done speaking, all of the others burst into laughter, apart from one, who grabbed his shirt and, embarrassed, said:
"Hey! I just wanted to give her a piece of advice! Is there anything wrong with that?!"
"No, no"
A third replied.
