Ingrate Thief

Ingrate Thief

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 that thieving ingrate.

She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat,

Then 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 with 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.

Thats quite a nice story. Well something opposite happent to me few days ago in my holidays. I was with some buddies at the beach and there was a little grocery. I went in and wanted to buy a mellon. Chose one, and ask the seller if he can cut a pice to see if is ok. He told me that can do that but I'm not allowed to bite. I said ok thinking that he dont want me to bite because if I dont like it to sell it to other person or may be he wanted to take it etc...he cut a piece , and the melon was red and tasty. I was carrying the melon for like 1 mile and when went home and cut it saw it was sear and had such a bad taste.. I had to throw it in the bin :angry:

Later took the car and purchased another one from other store. that one was so good that worth it :tongue::biggrin:
