levels of tzedakah and why i'm a little annoyed now

Levels of Tzedakah
Certain kinds of tzedakah are considered more meritorious than others. The Talmud describes these different levels of tzedakah, and Maimonides organized them into a list. The levels of charity, from the least meritorious to the most meritorious, are:
Giving begrudgingly
Giving less than you should, but giving it cheerfully.
Giving after being asked
Giving before being asked
Giving when you do not know the recipient's identity, but the recipient knows your identity
Giving when you know the recipient's identity, but the recipient does not know your identity
Giving when neither party knows the other's identity
Enabling the recipient to become self-reliant

so remember a few weeks ago i wrote that my coworker and i bought soup for one of the homeless guys we see all the time outside union station, and that he wasn't there when we passed back? well, we tried again yesterday. of course, he wasn't there again when we went back to the office. (this time we had tomato basil soup...i had a cup, too. it was tasty.) another dude asked for money, so i offered him the soup.

dude - "got any money?"
me - "no, but do you want this soup?"
dude - "yeah i want some soup!"
me - "here you go, enjoy!"
dude - "thanks! (mumble mumble mumble) you know what the greatest story ever told is?"
us - "no, what?"
dude - "i have no idea (mumble mumble)"

we begin to walk away and the dude keeps talking to us, mostly incoherent something about home made american money? he asked for money, a dime or nickel. i replied that we only had the soup, so he asked my coworker, and she said sorry, just the soup. he sort of got a little mad at us then. hey, pal. i just gave you soup and a nice crusty piece of baguette and you're asking for a dime? i don't understand that, man. i felt good at first, then i got mad. is that wrong? how would some coins help you then?

i'll continue to try to buy soup for the original guy. he has no teeth, so i may rethink the crusty bread.
