A New Beginning.

I am sitting in a Wendy's restaurant while my family shops for gifts nearby. I bought a large order of fries to snack on while I wait and use the free wi-fi. I had eaten about half before they were cold, so I started to throw the rest away. When I got up to do so an older man who had been sitting nearby with a woman I assume to be his wife, asked if he could have the fries I was throwing away. I obviously said yes...and after the initial shock I went to talk to the manager. I explained what had just happened and I thought they may be homeless or at least without money for food. I then gave her money to buy them as many items from the "value menu" as $10 could buy. I know it may not be much but I hope it will help them feel a little better even if only for one day. Many heartless souls will say they are freeloaders or they perhaps created the situation that has put them where they are. To those people I say good luck if and when there is a judgement day.
