To give or not to give?

When I was having paani-puri today, a small girl was staring at the paani puris. I felt sorry for her. Though she didnt ask, I asked the guy to give her one 'on my account'. She happily ate it, and after some time, started staring at the paani puris again. I did not know whether to offer her another. I thought it would be wrong to encourage her this way.
I came back till Mount Road. Now I felt maybe a couple of paani-puris more wouldnt harm her. I went back. She wasnt there. I felt sorry. I could have given her a couple of more helpings earlier itself.
Should I have given her or would it have been, as I said earlier, a wrong encouragement for her?

Hello,
Nice post. I agree with what you thought first. This thing should not be encouraged and when you take into consideration countires like yours and mine.

If you take karachi for example, this has become more of an art then need.
But then again, there are ppl who are in need and they dont get their right because of these fake ppl.
Anyways, nice reading.
