Siam: Kenneth About the Begging Leper

Siam: Kenneth About the Begging Leper

A story from the Thailand years. The Landons had a leper who used to come and beg. He would come once a week to the Landons' house and stand under the veranda, begging. The man came weekly for several years, never any more than once a week. One day the man came begging again, but this time he added that he had been stricken on the head. Kenneth went out onto the veranda, and the man almost collapsed from weakness below. Kenneth took him to the hospital and in a day or so, he was dead.
