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.
