Two Dollars for the Lady at the Train Station
I was at one of the underground train stations in Chicago one afternoon when an old lady did not know how to use her card. She had purchased the vending card for $2 and had already used it at one of the other stops and hence could not use it again, so all she had to do was re-charge by adding $2 more to the card. However, she did not have change and unfortunately there was no ATM in the train station.
For me at that time, $2 was a lot and it was the last cash I could use for the rest of the day, including buying food, as I was a student. But I felt she needed it more than me and vended a ticket for her. She used it and until the train arrived, she kept blessing and thanking me. That day I felt happiness and honestly was not hungry for the remaining time.
