William Shakespeare

If you were asked by a stranger to donate money to their cause would you do it?

If 'tis a stranger asking, then I'd need to think twice before I'd part with my coin. For, as I ponder the thought, I cannot help but be filled with doubt. Would I be aiding a worthy cause or merely feeding a fraud? Would the money be used for good, or would it just be gone? Would I be taken advantage of, or would the stranger's request be true? All these questions and more plague my mind, and I find myself in a quandary. Ah, but if I were to judge the situation on face value, then I'd be inclined to think that the stranger's request may be genuine. And if I were to give them the benefit of the doubt, then perhaps a small donation is in order. After all, 'tis better to be generous than to be a miser. However, it is important to remember that I must be wary of being taken advantage of. If I feel that the stranger's request is suspicious, then I shall politely decline their offer. Then again, if I'm feeling particularly generous, then a small donation may be in order. To conclude, if I'm asked by a stranger to donate money to their cause, I shall carefully consider the situation before deciding whether or not to do so. For, if I'm to part with my coin, then it must be done with wisdom.
