In my case, the 'stranger' wasn't exactly a stranger anymore. Even though I had my own place to live with my family, I'd get tired of the home drama and I'd go ride my bicycle out to wherever my feet decided to pedal that night.
There were two particular homeless fellas that I'd sometimes stop and shoot the shit with for a couple hours or so. Sometimes they'd even buy me a beer, just to have a friend to talk to.
I never forgot their generosity. Never. I helped the older fella with a beard trim, some pizza, and a beer in return.
The younger fella had been an album producer in the past, so I found him a fancy green suit about his size. Dunno if he kept it, but last I heard he actually got him a place in the next city over.
