Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Gift of Grapes


--by Micah1116, posted Jan 24, 2013

My mother was in the hosptial for four days, due to a rather bad skin infection. During one of those days, I stopped by the farmers' market to check out the fruit they had.

It was a very small but pleasant market, and the people there were very friendly. I didn't have any money on me, but just looked around, thinking maybe I would come back another time.

The woman running the market asked if I would like anything. I replied that I was just looking, that I had no money and was visiting my mom in the hospital.

As I was leaving, the woman stopped me and gave me a big package of fresh local grapes to give to my mom.

It was such a nice gesture, and really made me smile. The grapes were so sweet, probably the sweetest grapes I've ever had. And the fact that a stranger was so kind in giving them to my mother made them that much sweeter! :)
