  2. You can check out Itzik Elrov's facebook page, where he uploaded the picture. he saw it happen and it seems that for some reason, perhaps that she was rummaging through vegetables in the trash, that she was poor.

    I guess you have proved that poor does not mean one must look dirty and ragged.
