An emerging social media personality, known online as "El Pibe Cubano", found a creative way to assist an elderly man who was selling fruits and peppers on the street. Instead of simply handing over money, he asked the elderly vendor to watch his "lucky wallet" for a short while. During his absence, the young man distributed cash to various passersby, encouraging them to purchase the elderly man's goods.
Upon returning to retrieve his wallet, the senior vendor expressed amazement at what he dubbed the "lucky wallet," and eagerly offered to look after it again in the future. With a charming naivety, the elderly man, who revealed he holds a degree in economics and lives on a pension of 1,600 pesos, was astonished by the sudden influx of customers. The gesture by El Pibe Cubano was widely celebrated in the comments section of the Instagram post, where countless users praised his thoughtful act.
