Meh fadder did call anybody who did somet’ing for him, ‘A Good Samaritan’ it didn’t matter if he did hav’ to pay dem. I use to t’ink dat he was mockin’ de person, buh he was jusl’ blessin’ dat person because as far as he was concern, dat person was blessin’ him. A Good Samaritan is a blessed person. Dey give freely an’ it comes back to dem tenfold.

My father used to call anybody who did something for him, ‘A Good Samaritan’ whether he had to pay them or not. I used to think that he was being sarcastic, but he was just blessing that person because they were a blessing to him. A Good Samaritan is a blessed person. They give freely and it comes back to them tenfold.
