Mrs. Jones grabs Roger and drags him to her house

Thank you, M'am is a short story by Langston Hughes about a young boy named Roger who tried to snatch and steal Mrs. Luella Jones's purse. Unexpectedly, instead of taking Roger to the authorities, Mrs. Jones showed compassion by dragging the boy to her house to feed him and give him money.
