We live in central Phoenix , near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his shabby and untidy dog hanging out down there.
I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn't have been a problem; we have our own "mini farm" of animals! But he would say "OK!" and then blow the idea off because of our business.
Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but its winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man was sitting on a long bench , wrapping himself with an old brown coat and even older scarf. Even the dog had a worn-out woolen vest on!
Not even thinking more about it, I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken for the man and his little dog as well as a cup of hot coffee and a bottle of juice. Looking at all the hot and delicious food and drink, he said, "Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel. "I found tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home.
When my husband dug into the KFC bag, he asked, "Were you hungry or what happened?"1 told him what I did and he told me I had done a good thing. Since there had been nothing left in the KFC bag, we decided to go out to have our dinner. By the time we wanted to pay our bill, l couldn't find my wallet. I really didn't know where l lost it. Luckily, there was not much money in it, and I forgot it at once.
