Small charity

Everyone has seen the down-and-out guys on the streetside with a paper cup or maybe a hat, hoping for a coin or two from passers-by.  Today I saw one get a unique contribution.  A well-dressed woman in her 40s walked by, talking with a companion, dragging away on a half-smoked cigarette. She saw the man on the sidewalk (let's call him Hal), and paused. She took a last pull on her fag and offered him the rest. Hal thanked her, stuck it in his mouth and she went on her way.

Giving takes all forms.
