Homeless child

“Pray, kind sir or gentle madam, grant me but a morsel of bread or a coin of the realm to soothe mine aching belly and warm my shivering soul. I am but a humble child, cast adrift upon these streets, bereft of hearth and kin. Thy generosity shall be as the sun breaking through the darkest clouds, a boon most divine. Prithee, show mercy to one in such dire plight, and I shall hold thee ever in my heart with deepest gratitude.”
