In a restaurant in one of the United States, a waitress handed the lunch menu to a man and his wife, and before he looked at the menu, he asked her to offer them two cheaper dishes as they do not have enough money as they did not receive their salary for several months, because of financial challenges faced by the party they work for.
Waitress Sarah didn’t think long I suggested two dishes without hesitation as long as they are the cheapest. She brought two orders and ate them up, and before she left she asked for the bill. She returned to both of them with a piece of paper inside the wallet for the bills, reading the meaning: “I have paid your bill from my personal account in consideration of your circumstances.” And that’s a hundred dollar gift from me and that’s the least I’m doing for you two. Thank you both for your kindness. Signature is Sarah”.
The couple was extremely happy as they were leaving the restaurant. The Loft in the previous position Sarah was overjoyed to pay the couple’s food bill despite her difficult financial circumstances, she has been saving for almost a year the value of an automatic washing machine she would like to buy, and any amount she would waste will postpone her acquisition of this dream machine, she washes clothes with an old washing machine.
ماBut what saddens her the most is that her friend Sarah scolded her when she came to know about it. She recalled her behavior because she deprived herself and her child of money that she needed from others to buy a washing machine..
Before regret seeped into her as her age mate protested against her initiative, she received a call from her mother saying aloud: “What did you do, Yassarah?” “.
She replied in a soft, trembling voice, fearing her unbearable shock: “I did nothing. What happened ???? “.
Facebook is on fire in tribute and praise for your behavior, her mother replied. Sid and his wife put your message to them on Facebook after the bill was paid into their account and transported by many. I am proud of you”. …
Her conversation with her mother was nearly finished until a study friend called her pointing to her message going viral on all digital social platforms.
As soon as Sarah opened her Facebook account, she found hundreds of messages from TV producers and journalists requesting to meet her to talk about her unique initiative.
The very next day, Sarah appeared on one of America’s most popular and most-watched television shows. The host gave her a very luxurious washing machine, a modern TV and ten thousand dollars. And I got a five thousand dollar voucher from an electronics company. Gifts poured in to her reaching more than $100,000 in appreciation of her great humanitarian behavior.
The cost of my meal that cost her no more than a few bucks + $100 was life changing.
Generosity is not giving what you don’t need, but giving what you need the most.
The real poverty is the poverty of humanity and attitudes.
