When getting to the homeless shelter I passed out the remaining meals. I had the containers with my 40 cookies in them and began to 41 , offering them to anyone near me.
I 42 an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me 43 in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes 44 a little bit and he said, “No one has 45 called me sir.” He was completely taken aback.
