What Would You Do?

The cynical would call me foolish and too trusting.  Maybe so, but what you you have done.  I pulled up to a gas station with a friend of mine and she put the hose in the tank and jumped back in the car.  A young man came to our window from the car at the next pump.  He need to get home and didn't have any gas money.  He looked like a clean-cut boy who hated to ask.  Old car, no gas, no wallet, had taken baby to mother in Glasgow, needed to get to Danville.  (We were in Russell Springs.)  What did I do?  Gave him $6 to buy enough gas to get there. (The only other option was a $20 and I wasn't that nice.)  What would you have done?
