The One with the Scraggly Beard (Elizabeth Withey)

Summary: A child tries to understand the life of a man he has seen sleeping under a bridge.

The boy's mother patiently answers his questions and explains how people's life paths can be so different.  The child observes the things he has in common with the man and wonders where his own path will lead. (from amazon.com)
