Stranger on the street

The man (right) was asking some RM. Look at the guy (left) handing the RM.

I guess the guy (left) was just being nice.

Have you seen this guy (right) before? I saw him waving for passing vehicles in a secluded place while on my way home. At first I didn't stop but later when I realized that the sky was getting more cloudy, I decided to make a detour and offered him a ride. I was worried that he won't be able to find a roof when it rained. As I myself would not like to be put in that kinda situation. He looked decent. Then, he came up to my car. I drove him to the mainroad. We had a small conversation in the car. Then, he told me that he was a contractor who lost his money sometime ago and had no money with him. He asked for some cash. I was really not feeling easy with this but I gave him a few RM. Then, from a distance after I left him, I saw him asking a passer by again. He was still asking RM from others. I wonder if my decision to help him was right (giving a ride). Nevertheless, what is done cannot be undone. It was just the situation that made decision on that time. So, will you give a ride to a stranger?
