Becoming a beggar

A beggar came to a pedestrian in the morning on Chicago´s State Street and
demanded, "Sir, Please give me six dollars, I need to drink coffee."

The pedestrian recognized him as some big shot and asked, "What? Coffee cost only three dollars. Why do you need six dollars."

The beggar says, "Well, I need to buy one coffee for myself and one for my girlfriend."

The pedestrian says, "You became a beggar and made a girlfriend."

The beggar says, "No sir, I made a girlfriend and became a beggar."
