Something surprising happened today which I have never seen a beggar do before.

So a poor man came into the bus today and become to wipe people's feet lightly with his dry rag, regardless if they wore shoes or slippers. I was struck by this gesture because I knew in other cultures and in the bible it was a symbol of submission and humility.

I know many did not understand this gesture or perhaps i am over thinking something. But is this way of "begging" common in your areas or is this the first ime youvetheard of it too.
