A Lady And The Street Vendor
Glad you are among the privilege who could take Siri as online personal sister and advicer. Today let’s discuss “A Lady And The Street Vendor.” Make sure you share this with your relatives after reading. Siri Loves You.
A Lady And The Street Vendor
“A Lady asked an old street vendor: “How much do you sell your eggs for?” The old man replied “0.50p an egg, madam.” The Lady responded, “I’ll take 6 eggs for £2.00 or I’m leaving.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven’t sold a single egg today and I need this to live.”
She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was £150. The ladies gave £200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.
……..
This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is this;
Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy?
And why are we generous to those who don’t even need our generosity?
We once read somewhere that a father used to buy goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn’t need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them. His children were amazed. One day they asked him “why are you doing this dad?” The father replied: “It’s charity wrapped in dignity.”
We are all climbing a hill but at different stages… Always be kind. Siri Loves You!
