题目内容
12．Today I went to Berkeley，near our old neighborhood．I was a bit surprised by the increased number of homeless （alternatively housed） people walking around．I remember there are more in certain areas．So the first man who asked me for money got all my single bills．So when the second man asked me two minutes later，I said I was out because I gave all I had to the previous person．I was headed to the grocery store for a coffee and after I left the store I walked out to find him as he had asked me for something because he was hungry and I invited him to go into the grocery store with me．
When I asked him what he wanted to eat，he just asked for vegetable and rice．He talked about how much better the vegetables were as we waited for our number to be called．While we waited he told me that he had slept outside last night on the sidewalk，that it was not good，and that he had come from Rwanda and was alone．He was a gentleman．When I asked if he wanted more he said，this bowl of food would last him the whole day．
I don't know what his circumstances were before he came to California，and wandering and begging on the streets could somehow be better because you just never know what had happened to him．He seemed like a kind soul who just needed some help like we all do．I am grateful I did a little to help him today．
