no one has become poor (by giving)

Jim knew you weren't supposed to feed strays, else they would come back and never leave. But it was just a plate of spaghetti, and it was only once. And besides, he was a capable, responsible adult. He could take care of a stray...except his stray was a little girl. And instead of fleas, she has a smart mouth and a penchant for stealing things. This was such a good idea.
