He's been doing this every night, by himself, for the last 3 to4 years. What 8us more was that he was surprised we were even taking an9 in this, since for him it wasn't a big deal. Every night, after10 so his accommodation from his job as a tailor, he goes around 11 left-over bread from all his housemates.
