Divorce of people in Istanbul. Falling shoe brush

You are walking in Istanbul, and in front of you, a shoe shiner’s brush falls. The cleaner does not notice this. You, like a kind person, take it, catch up with the cleaner and give it to him with the words “You dropped it.” He starts like oh thank you so much help, let me clean your shoes. And then (according to other tourists) they charge you 50 liras (12-14 euros) and start making trouble). The first time I didn’t buy it because I was wearing rag sneakers. And then I realized something was wrong when 4 brushes fell in 3 hours.
