📌She asked him, 'How much are you selling the
eggs🥚 for?'
The old 👴seller replied, '$0.25 an egg, Madam.'
She said to him, 'I will take 6 eggs for $1.25 or I
will leave.'
The old seller replied, 'Come take them at the
price you want. Maybe, this is a good beginning
because I have not been able to sell even a
single egg today.'
She took the eggs and walked away feeling she
has won. She got into her fancy car and went to
a posh restaurant with her friend. There, she and
her friend, ordered whatever they liked. They ate
a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then
she went to pay the bill. The bill costed her
$45.00 She gave $50.00 and asked the owner of
the restaurant to keep the change.
This incident might have seemed quite normal to
the owner but, very painful to the poor egg
seller.
The point is, Why do we always show we have
the power when we buy from the needy ones?
And why do we get generous to those who do
not even need our generosity?
I once read somewhere:
📌'My father used to buy simple goods from poor
people at high prices, even though he did not
need them. Sometimes he even used to pay
extra for them. I got concerned by this act and
asked him why does he do so? Then my father
replied, "It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my
child”
👉 Respect and help peoples like these b/c they don't work for the fancy things, they work for their daily need. talk to them with respect, ask them how their day was. it could be nothing to you but means a lot to them.
