As this 5:55-minute video opens, a blind beggar sits by his hand-lettered sign as people walk by. Some toss coins. Most ignore him.
We see a businessman, carrying a briefcase, walking toward the square. Will he give the man a coin? Walk by? We know the juxtaposition of rich and poor is important to the story, but we don’t know how until the end.
I don’t want to give this one away so will only say that this beautiful little film is a good example of how changing the story can change the outcome.

I think of my time at Stagebridge often, and when I do, I think of you, your delicious sense of humor shining through your stories, and how welcome you made me feel. Cathryn
Thank You Cathryn for the beautifully done short film. It shows that there are some REAL and CARING human beings in the world. I will think twice about giving to the sign- holding person on the street.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Got me in the guts. I will make a huge effort to enjoy my own beautiful day, for all that it is to me.
catherine – that was lovely – thank you – shows me how just a different view of a situation can make all the difference – thank you
The video link came to me just when I was looking for a metaphor for why I believe that changing the story can, indeed, change the outcome. I’m so glad you took the time to look at it, Janis.
