WATCH: This five-year made an incredibly sweet gesture to a homeless man

When five-year-old Josiah Duncan saw a homeless man standing outside an Alabama restaurant, he had some questions for his mother.

His mom, Ava Faulk, explained his situation and Josiah became concerned for the man's wellbeing and requested that they buy him a meal in the nearby Waffle House.

Ava agreed.

From WAAF:

"He came in and sat down, and nobody really waited on him," Faulk explained. "So Josiah jumped up and asked him if he needed a menu because you can't order without one."

The man insisted on a cheap hamburger to start, but he was assured he could have anything he wanted. He got the works.

"Can I have bacon?" Faulk remembers him asking, "And I told him get as much bacon you want."

Before the man could take the first bite, Josiah insisted on doing something.

"I wanted to say the blessing with him," Duncan said.

Ava says her son's sweet gesture moved everyone there, telling WAAF that "the man cried. I cried. Everybody cried".

The man went on his way but she says she'll never forget the moment:

"Watching my son touch the 11 people in that Waffle House tonight will be forever one of the greatest accomplishments as a parent I'll ever get to witness."
