Stories of Kindness from Around the World

For Us And Them.

A friend and I decided to go for a vegetarian dinner today. We went to a nearby restaurant run by a beautiful lady, who is really warm and kind. We ordered our food, which turned out to be delicious and light as usual, and we enjoyed our meal so much. We were being kind to ourselves by eating simple, nutritious, food cooked with care and love.

However, there happened to be SMILE cards on my person and another greeting card, so we decided that this was a great opportunity to be kind to someone else too. We had a hush hush chat with one of the lovely people who were serving us, and pointed,winked,gestured at the couple sitting at the next table, and told him that we wanted to pay their bill. He agreed, and my friend wrote out a beautiful card for them, and we attached a SMILE card as well. We finished our meal, and both our bill and their bill were given to us, and we paid the money and left. They were to receive the card in place of the bill. :)

We walked out of the restaurant, and my friend wanted to see their reaction without getting noted. So, we hid from view, and watched as they were smiling with so much joy, and that just made our day. We hugged each other in gratitude, for having each other.

We later found out that the couple were both software engineers and had experienced a hectic day! This bit of information made it even more special:) We couldn't stop smiling.

A beautiful end to a long day.
