The Good Samaritan

A wealthy old guy was riding in the back of his limo when he noticed two men at the side of the road eating grass. He told his driver to pull over and got out to investigate. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked the first man. "We have no money for food," the poor man replied. "Well, come with me then," he said. "But sir, I have a wife and two children who are also hungry!" the poor man said. "Bring them along," he replied. "And what about you?" he asked, turning to the other man. "I have a wife and six children!" the second man answered, with his head hung low. "Bring them all!" replied the wealthy old man. The two families climbed into his limo and stared at the wealthy man with gratitude. One man said, "Sir, your kindness has no bounds. Thank you for taking all of us with you." To which the wealthy man replied, "No problem, the grass at my house is almost a foot tall!"
