Answer:

She takes him home, feeds him dinner, talks with him, and gives him money to buy some shoes.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's short story "Thank You, Ma'am," tells the encounter of a young boy and his targeted victim. And although the young boy did not succeed in stealing anything from the woman, he still ended up getting more than he had thought he'd get.

Roger was waiting to snatch the purse of Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones but the woman's strength prevented him from succeeding in his attempt. To his surprise, Mrs. Jones did not report him to the authorities nor did she punish him. Instead, she took him home, fed him, washed him, talked with him, and then gave him ten dollars to buy <em>"some blue suede shoes."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
