moral lessons
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 nex...
t
seat, opened his magazine and started reading. When
she took out the first cookie, the man took one
also.She felt irritated but said nothing. She just
thought: “What 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 cause a scene. When only one cookie
remained, she thought: “ah... What would this abusive
man do now?” Then, the man, taking the last cookie,
divided it into half, giving her one half. Ah! That was
too much! She was much too angry now! In a huff,
she insulted the man, took her book, her things and
stormed to the boarding place. When she sat down in
her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her bag to
take her eyeglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet
of cookies was there, untouched, unopened! She felt
so ashamed!! She realized that she was wrong... She
had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her bag.
The man had shared his cookies with her, without
feeling angered or bitter....while she had been very
angry, thinking that she was sharing her cookies with
him.And now there was no chance to explain
herself...nor to apologize.”There are 4 things that you
cannot recover.
The stone......after the throw!
The word......after it’s said!
The occasion......after the loss!
The time......after it’s gone!
Be careful and be nice***
