It can be said that in difficult times we all took out our true caste and in the case of two beggars, Chris Parker and Stephen Jones, the terrorist attack in Manchester on Monday awoke in them a heroic spirit.

According to the Associated Press, Parker was begging for alms in the lobby of the Manchester Arena after the concert of singer Ariana Grande, when he heard an explosion and fell to the ground. Despite the shaking, she stood up and when she saw how the people fled terrified of the enclosure, instead of joining the human stampede, she began to run but into the sinister.

“There were people on the floor, everywhere. I saw a little girl, I wrapped her in one of the T-shirts for sale and asked her where her daddy and mommy were. He told me that he was working and his mother was 'up there.'”

Parker believes that the little girl's mother - who had lost her legs in the explosion - was dead and therefore claims that she spent time with the girl.

The indigent also claims that he helped other people, but that he has been greatly affected by what he saw. “I have not stopped crying. The most shocking thing was to see that it was a concert with many children, said Parker, 33.

For its part, the AFP agency quoted the account of Jones, who claims to have seen "many children full of blood who cried and cried."

Jones also says that he helped remove the nails from the arms of one of them and even from the face of a little girl and explained his reaction to the tragedy that ISIS claimed: “The fact that he is homeless does not mean that he does not have heart.

The Daily Mail newspaper reported that an English millionaire and his son offered to pay Jones rent for a house for six months to thank him for what he did. "Such an action, so selfless, needs to be rewarded," said the son of the English benefactor.
