By 23 years of Abdul he had already half year stay in prison for robbery. Upon his release, he found work in a pizzeria, but there he was so bored that he did all that he was fired. For two years he lived on the dole without feeling the slightest remorse.
Address potential work place was located on the avenue Leopold II, in the 16th arrondissement, one of the most exclusive areas of the French capital. Once at the gate of a drowning man in the green house, Abdel momentarily dumbfounded. He pressed the intercom and asked timidly: "It's about the work. The assistant is required? "The answer was a polite quiet voice:" Come in, sir! »
The building not only hit the grand size, but also the richness of interior decoration. Paintings of famous artists, gilding, furniture in the Empire style, inlaid tables - at the sight of this magnificence Abdel speechless.
When a man sitting in a wheelchair, head movement invited him to come closer, Abdul gave him a look.

What he just did not hunted at school took from primary school students new shoes; stole goods from the shelves in the supermarkets; snatched cameras at careless tourists at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Countless times he was detained for theft. Shortly after Abdel turned 18, he was in prison.
Nothing in your past life has not prepared the young offender to the daily care of the disabled. And there were many. Philip massaging the abdomen to improve blood circulation; transfer it into a chair; spread his arms and legs so that the patient was comfortable; wear shoes.
Together, they brought the case, but gradually Abdel attached to his charge. Here's how he wrote about it in his autobiography: "Faced with a man who had such fortitude, that in such a situation, has not lost the ability to laugh, I realized that we share much more than a job or a moral duty. He opened my eyes to a world that I hated: the world of people who have had everything in life. "
Before the accident, which occurred during a flight on a paraglider, Philip, a descendant of an old aristocratic family, was a co-owner of the house champagnes Pommery House. Becoming disabled, deprived of the opportunity to enjoy the sport and movement, he gave himself up to triple energy intellectual pleasure. Abdel hours turned the pages of books, which was not the end.
- Well, do you have a thick book - Abdel sighed and added sarcastically: - This book can easily stun cop!
Education Abdel mainly took place on the street and not at school. But over time, standing over his shoulder at the owner, he, too, had begun to read. In the silence of the mansion Abdul rummaged in the library choosing a book interesting.
- Abdel, set the vertical word defrocked.
In the evening, Philip loved to play scrabble. Abdel grumbled but did as he was asked. "Defrocked, uh, well, you and say. Is there such a word? »
Philip immediately explained: "defrocked - a priest who voluntarily waived his or her dignity and deprived him for some offense." Abdel, who did not like to lose, grabbed the dictionary to check whether it is not cheating. All these strange words tired him no less than the nights spent at the police station, where nothing else to do, he felt squares on the ceiling of the chamber.
Film 1 + 1. History of kadromV 2000, when Philip began to write the book, he was waiting for a surprise. Abdul, who in his life and the two lines has not suddenly volunteered to take notes from dictation Philip. Abdul admits: "For me, the years spent with Pozzo, equivalent to twenty years of study».
At night, Abdul, concurrently Acting chauffeur cavalierly enjoyed the host's machine. Once in the police knocked the door of the mansion. After talking with law enforcement officers Philip quipped: "Well, Abdel, our Jaguar crying?»
Unlocks was useless. However, Abdel tried to explain: "I have always said that this machine is very dangerous." Then, after hesitating, he added: "Well, I am guilty. It does not fit into the rotation. Here are the keys to the car. That's all that was left of it. "
In 2002, the birthday godson Philip, who turned 18 years old, Abdel invited a stripper. Philip was beside himself with anger. "Do not you dare do such a thing, if it was the birthday of your son!»
After each offense Philippe tried to reason with his protege. When he learned that Abdel, an incorrigible womanizer, he threw another boring girlfriend, Philip read his entire notation.
