Something in Stephen Pearman’s voice moved Robert Fredy one cold day two years ago. Pearman had come close to Fredy’s 1 at a crossroad in New York City, hoping to earn some money 2 washing his windshield(挡风玻璃). Fredy waved to indicate he wasn’t interested.

Fredy gave him a job and three meals a day, and 8 him pocket money while training him.
Today, Pearman works full time setting up the hotel‟s meeting rooms. In the past two years, he‟s found an apartment, married and paid back Fredy‟s money.
