A woman was
waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She
hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a
place to drop.
.
She was engrossed
in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as
could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to
ignore to avoid a scene. So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as
the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.
.
She was getting
more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would
blacken his eye.” With each cookie she took, he took one too, when only one was
left, she wondered what he would do.
.
With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took
the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other,
she snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother.
This guy has some
nerve and he’s also rude, why he didn’t even show any gratitude!
.
She had never
known when she had been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was
called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look
back at the thieving ingrate.
She boarded the
plane, and sank in her seat, then she sought her book, which was almost
complete.
.
As she reached in
her baggage, she gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of
her eyes. If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he
tried to share.
.
Too late to
apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the
thief.
.
MORAL: Those who
jump before looking end up on head first in the shallow end. When you jump to
conclusions you often skip over the truth & sometimes it is too late to make
amends…….
