A homeless man scrounges up some money to get the bus in the morning to the job centre. On the way there he notices a scruffy looking guy sat on a bench in the park watching a child play with his dog. He doesn't think much of it. After going to the job centre he is told to come back tomorrow so he goes back to the homeless shelter.
The next day he is given bus money to go back, on the way there he notices the scruffy man watching the child play with his dog again, he still doesn't think much of it and proceeds to the job centre, where he is told to go back a third time to fill in some forms. The guy goes back to his homeless shelter.
He gets more money the next day to go back and on the way there the man is still watching the child and his dog. He starts to get curious, he goes to the job centre and after filling in some forms he is told to go back the week after to see if there are any jobs available. The man goes back to the homeless shelter but can't stop thinking about the man looking at the kid.
The morning after, even though he doesn't have to go to the job centre, he tells some volunteers he does and they give him more money for the bus. On the bus he keeps his eye out for the man watching the child play but they're not there, so he gets off at the next stop and sits on the bench for a while. The child shows up with his dog a little later than usual and plays catch with it. Then homeless man decides to stay there and wait for the scruffy looking man to arrive, then he realises the scruffy looking man who was watching the child play was in fact him.
