I have a funny but sweet Taco Bell story. |
|
This happen many years ago.
I had gone to Pet Smart to buy canned catfood for 10 cents a can, a very good price.
After I bought the cat food I stopped at Taco Bell for a small meal.
Now I was on a bus so I had my backpack with me so I had to repack the cans of food into the backpack.
When I was almost finished a older couple came to my table and left a tray of food and a $10 bill.
They drove off and I was sitting there trying to figure out why they would have done this.
I gave the food to some teenagers who were sitting close by and left to catch the bus.
It wasn't until I got on the bus that I realized why the couple gave me the food and money.
They thought I was going to eat the catfood.
I gave the $10 to someone I knew who really needed the money and I have never forgotten the kindness of the couple.
I have repayed this kindness back many times.

I'm sure their kindness came back to them, too.

2. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out why they did this. |
|
The $10 went to someone who really needed it.

I confess, I may have been a bit confused too.
But bless their hearts, and your's too.

6. I hope that the $10 they gave me was money they could spare. |
|
I wished I could have thanked them.

I just wished I would not have been so stupid at the time.

it sounds like you were just preoccupied. I wouldn't have thought of them thinking I was eating cat food either.
