A young Cuban surprisingly helps an elderly man selling on the street

A young Cuban influencer helped an elderly man selling fruits on the street, but he did so in a unique way: he first tested the man's honesty, which was more than met.


A young influencer who identifies on social media as "El pibe cubano" helped an elderly man selling fruits and chili peppers on the street, but he did it in a very original way.

Instead of giving him money directly, he asked the old man to look after "his lucky wallet" for a while. After leaving, the young man started giving money to different people so they could go buy the old man's goods for him.

Upon returning for his wallet, the elderly man confirmed that it truly was the "lucky wallet," and he expressed his delight at what had happened, while also offering to look after his wallet another day.

With a naïveté that inspires tenderness, the grandfather—who claimed to have a degree in economics and a pension of 1,600 pesos—could hardly believe the number of people who suddenly bought his products.

In the comments section of the post on Instagram, dozens of internet users celebrated El Pibe cubano's gesture
