LETS BE GOOD TO EVERYONE

"A Lady asked an old street vendor: "How much do you sell your eggs for?" The old man replied "K50 an egg, madam.” The Lady responded “I'll take 6 eggs for K200 or I'm leaving.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live.”
She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won. She got into her Luxury car and went to an expensive restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was K1,500. The ladies gave K2,000 and told the expensive restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.
This story might seem quite normal to the owner of an expensive restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is;
Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy?
And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?
We once read somewhere that a father used to buy goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them. His children were amazed. One day they asked him "why are you doing this dad?" The father replied: "It's charity wrapped in dignity.”
I know that most of you will not share this message, but if you are one of the people who have taken the time to read this far...
Then this message of attempted "humanisation" will have gone one step further in the right direction."
Thanks for reading.
