to a beggar, but he saw another one, and forgot that he didn

t
have any money in his pockets. He asked the man if he liked to have lunch with him, and the
beggar, of course, agreed. So they went into a small restaurant and had a good meal.

, and the beggar had to do so. The artist felt
very sorry for it, so he said to the beggar,
鈥?/p>

I
鈥?/p>
ll give you the money for our lunch."
鈥淥h, no!" the beggar answered quickly. 鈥淚 had to pay
