Many teenagers are warm-hearted, kind, and wise; their actions can often be used as an example of the right thing to do.
This was the case for one teenager, who offered a man living with homelessness and became a shining example of how to be a decent human, no matter the age.

Matthew was working his job as a cashier when a homeless man entered the Burger King with just 50 cents.
He explained to Matthew that he was hungry and he wanted whatever the fifty cents would buy. In response, Matthew asked the man what he would order if money was no obstacle.
The man couldn’t even imagine what he would have, and answered that he would be thrilled to get anything that would eliminate his hunger.
So, Matthew picked up his own debit card, and ordered the man a hearty and satisfying meal. Once it was ready, he handed the food over to his new friend, and told him to enjoy.
