Not having much coin of the realm, the hungry pair immediately scheme to get a meal. When passing an appetizing looking restaurant they meet an apparently benevolent old gentleman to whom they tell their tale of woe. The kindly disposed man takes them into the restaurant and tells them to eat any and everything they desire and excuses himself for a moment but fails to return.
