In Why, You Reckon, by Langston Hughes, the stranger finds out that the narrator is hungry too because he proposes him to rob the first prosperous white man that comes up.

They are both colored poor men and, as the narrator approaches to the stranger and tells him his idea, the stranger realizes the narrator is hungry too and accepts the plan.

Together, they rob a white boy who ends up being excited about all the situation saying it is the first real thing that happens in his life.
