Memory:Beggar

A pitiful wretch limps toward you with outstretched hands, hoping for a coin or a morsel of food. The beggar wears only old rags, and seems as thin as a tree branch. But beware, as beggars often conceal makeshift weapons under their rags for use on less generous or hostile strangers. A scruffy fellow, limping on a crook and holding out a dirty mis-shaped hand hoping for a penny. Unwilling customers ("those people spend all their money on drink, so giving is immoral, you know") might find themselves kicked by someone apparently legless, however.
