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.
