The first beggar looked at the second and whispered with excitement, “He's coming our way!”but they couldn't help gazing up with anticipation as he reached into his pocket and took something out.
揟hunk?was the only sound they heard as what looked like a piece of hard candy,
awrapped doubly in tissue paper hit each of their waiting hats. The rich man turned and continued on his way, not making a backward glance.
揌ow insulting !” said the first beggar, as soon as the rich man was out of sight. “He could have easily left us a few coins or a spare bill, but he played a joke on us with a piece of rock candy.”ren? There's no way we can even eat this—we have no teeth.”
The beggar picked up the object with the very tips of his fingers and threw it into the gutter. He watched as it floated a few yards in the stream of muddy water and disappeared into the drain at the end of the street. Then, he gathered up his things and walked away.
The second beggar looked down at the_morsel_in_his_hat,_then at his departing friend. His first impulse was to toss the donation in the trash can under the street light. But his second thought made him change his mind.
“I haven't had anything like this for ages,” he thought. “I can't chew it, but I can suck on it for a while, and the sugary juices will stay in my mouth for a long time. How nice of that man to offer me something so sweet.”then paused as his hands touched the white tissue paper inside. “Maybe I should save it for another time,” he thought. “It won't spoil, and I could eat it later when I'm really hungry.”oment, then he said aloud, “He wanted me to have it anyway. I might as well enjoy it now.”
