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 also took one. 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 create a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought, “Ah! What the abusive man will do now?” Then, the man, took the last cookie, divided it into half, and gave her one half. “Ah! That was too much, now!” she said angrily. In a huff, she took her book, her things and stormed to the boarding place.
When she sat down in her seat, in the plane, she looked into he purse to take her eyeglasses and saw that the packet of cookies was there, untouched and 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.
So, the moral of the story is…
There are four things we cannot recover,
The stone……after the throw
The word……after it’s said.
The occasion……after the loss.
The time……after it’s gone.
So, that's all about this nice story.........I hope you all liked it.
