A wealthy man met a beggar on the street

A wealthy man met a beggar on the street.


The beggar pleaded to the wealthy man to give him a dollar to buy something to eat.

“You poor fellow,” said the wealthy man. “Come with me and I’ll buy you a drink.”

“Actually, I don’t drink. But I would like something to eat.”

“Here, my friend. Take one of my Cuban cigars,” the wealthy man urged.

“Sorry, sir,” said the bum. “I don’t smoke.”

“Very well, then come with me to Atlantic City! I’ll stake you in the casino and perhaps

you’ll win enough to get your life back on track.”

“I don’t gamble either, sir. But I would still very much like a bite to eat.”

“You want to eat?”, asked the wealthy man. “Alright, come home with me and have

dinner with my family.”

“That’s very kind of you, sir. Thank you!”

“Not at all,” replied the wealthy man. “I just want my wife to see what happens to a

man that doesn’t drink, smoke, or gamble.”
