You And That Man

You And That Man (A Reflective Read)

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 VIP room of the airport, to rest and read in peace. A man sat in the next seat beside the armchair where her packet of cookies lay. The man opened his magazine and started reading.


When she took out the first cookies, 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. That infuriated her but she didn't want to cause a scene.


When only one cookie remained, she thought, "Aah....! What would this abusive man do now?"


Then the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into two and gave her one half.


Now, that was too much! She was in a rage now! In a huff, she took her book and her things.


He tried to stop her, but she stormed to the boarding place.


When she sat down in her seat in the plane, she looked into her purse to take her eye glasses.


To her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened! She felt so ashamed! She realized she was wrong; she had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse!

The man had shared his cookies with her, without feeling angry or bitter while she had been very angry, thinking that he was sharing her cookies with him.


And now there was no chance to explain herself, nor to apologize!

MORALE:
There are four things you cannot recover:

The stone...after the throw!

The word...after it has been spoken!

The occasion...after the event!

The time...after it's gone!

Cherish every moment and fill it with love and care for everyone.

Been really busy with the daily encounters of life..
