O. Henry 
Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen 

In O. Henry’s ‘Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen’, Stuffy Pete, a homeless New Yorker, always meets a kind older gentleman in Union Square on Thanksgiving who treats him to dinner. This year, Stuffy Pete is fed beforehand by two kindly ladies and he finds he has no appetite for a second dinner. Not wishing to disappoint the older man, Stuffy Pete must decide whether to dine again or decline. This heartwarming holiday story is a meditation on generosity with a classic O. Henry ironic twist at the end.
