I was walking down the street, when I was approached by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman, who asked me if I had a few dollars to spare.
I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked "If I give you this money will you buy wine with it, instead of food?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago." the homeless woman replied.
"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" I asked.
"No, I don't waste time shopping. I spend all my time just trying to stay alive." the homeless women said.
"Would you spend this in a beauty salon instead of food?" I asked.
"Are you CRAZY, I haven't dome anything to my hair in twenty years!" The homeless women replied.
"Well then, I'm not going to give you the money, I'm going to take you home, instead, where I will make you dinner and you will meet my husband and stay with us tonight," I said.
The homeless woman was shocked "Won't your husband be furious with you for that, I'm dirty and I stink."
"That's okay." I said, "It's important for him to see you what a women looks like after she gives up her shopping, wine and hair appointments."
