The following is a true story. 
A beggar sat at  the entrance of the  Cuatro Caminos underground railway station.  A young woman came and gave him five coins.  A little later, the woman came back and said to the beggar:

I am so sorry.
Do you remember me? A moment ago I gave you five coins.  Couldn�t you give  two of these coins back to me?  I am ....   because....    I have run out........

The woman looked at the beggar and repeated her words as she saw that he  was senile.  She hesitated for just a second, and then she put down three big bags full of groceries at the beggar�s feet, said good-bye with a smile and ran away.

Can you think of an explanation for the way she behaved?
