Empty Cup

A few days ago I witnessed a girl drop her wallet on the sidewalk. Luckily, a panhandler stopped her, saying, "Miss! Miss, you dropped your wallet."
"Oh! Thank you!" she said, looking grateful and flustered as she picked it up.
The man flipped his Au Bon Pain cup to her expectantly.
"Sorry," was all she said as she turned away.
"Oh come on, miss - I was gonna take it anyway!"
An onlooker confirmed this, shouting, "I saw him, he was gonna take it anyway!"
But she never looked back.
