Washing your feet

A new man came to club last week and he had toe nails which were about 2cm long, yellow and very uncomfortable looking. He was keen to have them cut and as I seem to be the only volunteer who can cope with feet I got the job! While I soaked his feet he told me about his life, my Romanian still isn't that good but I was about to make out that his wife was run over by a train when she was 24 and that they had a child who died aged 3 and one at 7. His only living daughter was married but her husband beat he and she had to run away.
It was a sad story, but he seemed happy with his feet soaking in our pink bowl and he laughed when I asked how long it was since he had his nails cut and then joked about it being 100 years as he couldn't remember.
