| A young lady was waiting for her
flight in the boarding room of a
big airport. As she would need to
wait many hours, she decided to
buy a book to spend her time. She
also bought a packet of cookies.
She sat down in an armchair, in
the VIP room of the airport, to rest
and read in peace. Beside the
armchair where the packet of
cookies lay, a man sat down in the
next seat, opened his magazine
and started reading. When she
took out the first cookie, the man
took one also. She felt irritated but
said nothing. She just thought:
�What a nerve! If I was in the
mood I would punch him for
daring!� For each cookie she took,
the man took one too. This was
infuriating her but she didn�t want
to cause a scene. When only one
cookie remained, she thought:
�ah� What would this abusive man
do now?� Then, the man, taking
the last cookie, divided it into half,
giving her one half. Ah! That was
too much! She was much too
angry now! In a huff, she took her
book, her things and stormed to
the boarding place. When she sat
down in her seat, inside the plane,
she looked into her purse to take
her eyeglasses, and to her surprise,
her packet of cookies was there,
untouched, unopened! She felt so
ashamed! She realized that she
was wrong� She had forgotten
that her cookies were kept in her
purse. The man had divided his
cookies with her, without feeling
angered or bitter. �While she had
been very angry, thinking that she
was dividing her cookies with him.
And now there was no chance to
explain herself, nor to apologize.�
There are 4 things that you cannot
recover: The stone� after the
throw! The word�after it�s said!
The occasion�after the loss! The
time�after it�s gone. Cherish Every
Moment and Fill It With Love and
Care For Everyone .Let always show
love. |
