Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

I am pleased to relate my encounter with someone who I can now call a very well-dressed, well-spoken, and open panhandler.  This individual greeted me most warmly and gave me what I thought was a Christian kind of blessing, and then told me that a job was elusive, even though the job sought was part-time, and that hard times were knocking at the door.

Can you help me? 
What do you need? 
$x for lunch
Follow me to the store and wait, please (wanting to conceal my stash of cash, and determining to give half of what was asked for)

After buying my items at the store I came out with my cash ready and there was the dignified panhandler, waiting.  I turned over the amount, wished the panhandler well, and said goodbye.

This encounter is memorable because as I left the scene I felt that I had failed, not delivering what was requested, a simple meal, one meal, instead giving half.

How often does a panhandler say exactly what they want and not get it? Gee! I gotta get better at giving!
