You should have let him keep the shirt, dude. He had much less than you, so he deserved it more.
He'd built up much more of a tolerance to the cold conditions than I had. It wasn't even a day before another prisoner found out what he'd done and gave him a long sleeve. And, once I was on my feet I bought the old man a couple sets of long johns. No one needs asked to take care of a man who'll literally give you the shirt off his back.
With tears in his eyes, the old man cut fresh holes into the brand new long johns and offered me a pair.
