Skinny the Bum Gets Fed |

After several weeks of absence and a bit of worrying on my part, I saw the skinny bum again. I was so happy to see him that I could have hugged him. a
But since I�m not too keen on getting street person smell on me, I gave him a big smile. He asked if I had any change for some food, and I said that I was on my way to the grocery store. If he was going to stick around, I�d pick him up some stuff. I asked what kind of fruit he liked, and he said he liked watermelon. If I could get him a slice of watermelon, he�d be really happy. I went to the store and found the watermelon as I did my regular shopping. I ended up getting him a nice bag of a full meal with hopes to help him fill out a little. I bought four slices of ham, two slices of cheese (I know I�m vegan and against animal usage, but this is easier than giving him a can of peanut butter and him schlepping it around the city), four slices from my loaf of wheat bread, a lunch-size bag of potato chips, and a small bunch of grapes. When I saw him again, I said, �Guess what! They had watermelon!� He was really excited, and I wished him a good night as I handed him the full bag and walked back home with my grocery bags in-hand. I didn�t want to see his face when he saw there was more than just a slice of watermelon, but he called out to me as I walked away, �God bless you, sister.�
