"No, I had to stop drinking years ago", the homeless woman told her.
"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food? Pia asked. "No, I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" Pia asked. "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!"
"Well", Pia said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband, Pushkar and me tonight."
The homeless woman was shocked. "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."
Pia said "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments and wine."
