Grandboy: Momma what does that man’s sign say?<\/p>\n

Mamasan: (wondering what’s happening, looks back)<\/p>\n
Grandboy: (window rolled down, shouting): Here! Here! You can have my sandwich!<\/p>\n
Homeless man (looking down at the outstretched hand welding a soggy, mostly-eaten bit of breakfast): Why THANK you. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n
Grandboy: Momma! Just like you said! The time was right to give something! He heard me and I had something… Thank you momma<\/p>\n
That little morsel of bread wouldn’t sustain the man for long. But maybe the message is food for his soul.<\/p>\n
