The Two Alms, or The Thanksgiving Day Gift

The Two Alms, or The Thanksgiving Day Gift is a short story about a blind old woman begging by a snowy road on a bitter Thanksgiving evening. A passing traveler pities her but walks on, and a mayor tosses her a gold coin, then lets it fall into the snow. As she kneels to search, one man's guilty conscience pulls him back. The story weighs what a gift costs the giver against what it gives.
