It would have been more fun as a story if he had, especially since food, 
water and electricity and gasoline had not been invented yet.

I prefer the story of the Wise Samaritan, who, coming upon the man who had 
been beaten and robbed, immediately went over to him to see if he had anything 
else worth stealing. He found a crust of old bread which the robbers had left 
behind and, being a compassionate man, he took it to give to the birds and 
being a wise man, he cut the traveller's throat, so no word of this could leak 
out.
