Back onetime when it was safer to pick up hitch hikers I picked up this old harmless looking man, it was raining and he was soaked. I could tell he had been on the road a long time.
He ask me for a few bucks to buy something to eat, because he hadn't ate for 3 days.
I said I'll do you one better,as I was on my way home from work, I took him to my house and supper was on the table and he had a good home cooked meal. while he was eating a supper that was intended for me .

Today there will not be anything like that happen again because of the way life has changed.
