Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Fruitful Day


--by kjoyw, posted Aug 11, 2016
Was at our local Fruit Basket Market to pick up some local fresh fruit. Kind woman said cantaloupe was a bit over ripe and would not charge me. I insisted, but she still said no. So, when she rang up my bill and told me what I owed her, I purposely over paid (enough extra for the cantaloupe and then some) and told her to just keep the change. She just smiled. Cantaloupe was delicious!

They are gifting and you are basically saying nope and in fact, i'm going to over gift you with paying for it and then some! Dive into that sweet gift and enjoy it's juice. So yummy. Love-love
