A teenager begged a homeless man to teach her how to play guitar, and she was so grateful that her family came up with a surprising plan that started earning them a lot of money each month.

“Sir, I was wondering if you could teach me some things about guitar,” Samantha approached a homeless man who always played at the local park for tips and whatever else people would give them.

The 17-year-old had just found her grandfather’s old guitar in the attic and wanted to play something special for her parent’s upcoming wedding anniversary.

Her family went through a tough time this last year. Her mother, Belinda, had been in and out of hospitals this year, and her father, Axel, was working harder than ever. They weren’t struggling with money, but things were still hard.

Therefore, the teenager decided to do something special. Usually, her parents would go out to fancy restaurants or party with their rich friends on their anniversary, but Belinda couldn’t go out this year. Samantha wanted to play their favorite song on the guitar, so they could dance in the living room, where she would make them a special dinner soon.

However, she didn’t have much money and didn’t want to spoil the surprise by asking her father for money, so she thought the 40-something-year-old homeless man could help her in exchange for other things like food, clothes, etc.

“I’ve never taught much. I just learned how to play myself,” the man responded.

“What’s your name? I’m Samantha,” she insisted and sat beside the man.

“I’m Arthur,” he responded, confused by the teen’s audacity.

“Please. I don’t have much money and want to do this for my parents. I can pay a little bit, but I can bring you water, a sleeping bag, food, and clothes,” she continued. Arthur heard enough.

“Ok, ok. I’ll do it,” he interrupted. “But you need to focus. I will not teach anything to a distracted teenager. That’s a waste of my time.”

“Of course! I’m giving this my 100%!” Samantha assured him, and they started practicing.

Surprisingly, Arthur received more tips while teaching Samantha than ever before, and she added a bit to the pile as well as all she promised, although he tried to tell her it was unnecessary.

They would eat sandwiches together and drink soda while playing. Arthur even told Samantha that she had a great talent for the guitar.

“I must have gotten it from my grandfather, although I never met him,” Samantha responded to the praise.

“I learned from my grandfather, too,” Arthur grinned, and they continued practicing.

Samantha arranged everything, and her parents danced and enjoyed their romantic night at home with their sweet daughter.

“Honestly, it was the best anniversary we’ve ever had,” Belinda said as they ate, and Axel agreed.

“Thank you, my darling. But how did you learn how to play?” he asked.

Samantha told them about Arthur and how...
