I just experienced a moment that turned my entire day around. I went to the cafeteria today
to buy my lunch. However, when I entered the line and was ready to take out money, I realized I
forgot to take the purse with me. I dug through different parts of my bag, looking for small
change. After a while, it became clear that, while I found most of the money I had, I was still
short of money to buy my lunch.
I started looking around for people who may nicely lend me a little change. I thought about all
the time we passed people on the street and said that we didn't have anything to share. Would
that happen to me? I was too hungry to worry about it. Someone would help. I looked for one of
my friends in the cafeteria, but it was too early for any of them to take their lunch yet.
A very friendly woman appeared in line in front of me. I asked her if she could spare 12 cents.
Instead, she suggested that I put my sandwich in her basket, and anything else I would like to
buy! I told her that I only needed the sandwich, and offered her the change I had found.
However, she insisted on buying me the dinner.
A woman joyfully paid for my entire meal and I was grateful. I learned from her that we
should give without expecting anything in turn, even "Thanks".
