In this worse time of immense water masses flooding nearly the whole country, prices for food, clothes and many other things increased a lot and still increasing. Since Vehicle can no more reach all places the fares for boat transfers increased and many of the boat owners asking for very high payments. They try to make a fortune on the back of the people which lost their homes.
A poor man, calling himself Captain Jack Sparrow, now is rising to be the hero of his neighborhood. His words about the money-hungry boat owners are:
“Police, Military and many many Volunteers helping the people for free! Why can you not let them use your boats at cheap prices?” and “…if I hear that you charge to much, Captain Jack will come out!”
He got interviewed by TV Channel 3 and received 2 boats. I have seen it this morning in the TV News, but there was nothing in the News Papers. Now he and a Friend are using this boats to help the people and they do it without charging any fee. I do not use the word free on purpose, since Captain Jack has a Donation Box in his boat to gain some money for fuel.
To be a true Hero you do not need to rich and have power, you do not need to be a Fighter! You have only to do the right thing at the right time like Thailand’s Captain Jack Sparrow.
