RE: MAKE A DIFFERENCE Contest • 0.300 SBD for 1 Good Deed
Hello!
I really want to appreciate @Meetmysuperego for the contest. Although, I was a beneficiary of the last one, I'm here once again to drop this short story with the intention of inspiring someone.
I am not a very charitable person but I strongly believe every little good we do counts. I submitted to go to the market today in order to get the necessary ingredients for soup. Having prepared a budget or plan, I set out. In my country, more than one person can board same cab. So, I boarded a cab in which was a pregnant lady. She had a handbag and her purse was right on top of all she had in the bag. She alighted at a nearby junction. When I got to my bus stop, I noticed that the lady had dropped her purse. I took hold of it with great fear because I understand how egoistic cab drivers can be. Well, one babyish voice in my head just whispered "you know what to do".
Apparently, I was tensed. I opened the purse and immediately dug in with my two fingers and brought out some money and a piece of paper on which was written "Mike Gateman" and a phone number. I immediately placed a call to the number. After several times of calling, someone finally answered and I narrated the whole story to the person on the other end. Finally, he sent me an address and I went there, saw the pregnant lady, gave her back her purse and without waiting for a show of gratitude, I left.
I know it can be difficult at times to show care, it is of immense benefit to us,the giver. Don't forget that what we sow is what we reap.
Thank you
