Question

　 There are two men who are almost always outside the grocery store（雜貨店）. One is sometimes in a wheelchair. He holds a sign that says he is a vet（退伍軍人）and “anything will help”. The other man is younger, nearly toothless, and if he were not in such a public place, he would maybe frighten me a little. I have walked past them countless times, on my way to buy my family’s weekly groceries.

　 I don’t usually like to give money to beggars. But I see these guys so often that I decided to make eye contact, say “Hi” to them on purpose and smile at them, instead of ducking my head away and ignoring them. In both cases, I got a surprised “hello there ” back.

　 Last week, while waiting to buy what I wanted, I noticed the pre-made, plastic-wrapped sub-style sandwiches. I grabbed two of them, two extra apples, and two single-serving juice bottles. On my way out, I walked up to the vet and said, “Are you hungry? I got you a sandwich.” He took the sandwich, apple, and juice, and said, “God bless you.” I said, “You, too!” When I asked the other man, “Are you hungry?” He looked so surprised that I wondered when the last time was that anyone had actually spoken directly to him.

　 It was so easy to add those few items to my grocery bag and I felt like I had maybe helped just a little. I’ve decided that I will buy a simple “meal” like that each time I go to the store, for whoever is waiting outside.
