If you have a little time today, you might like to read O. Henry's Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen (1907).

A short summary: “Stuffy Pete, a homeless New Yorker, always meets a kind older gentleman in Union Square on Thanksgiving who treats him to dinner. This year, Stuffy Pete is fed beforehand by two kindly ladies and he finds he has no appetite for a second dinner. Not wishing to disappoint the older man, Stuffy Pete must decide whether to dine again or decline. This holiday story is a meditation on generosity, with a classic O. Henry ironic twist at the end.” www.barnesandnoble.com/...
