Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Glass of Water, Just When I Needed It


--by marianna, posted Sep 14, 2008

Today we hear of so many people who are NOT kind-- let me tell you how I was a recipient  of genuine kindness!  I was in Sam's Club, a wholesale store, doing my shopping.  Each weekend this store has carts in the aisles with food samples and an attendent at each cart.  While shopping, I stopped to sample some food, said thank you, and then began hiccupping!  I said "excuse me" and continued down the next aisle to shop, hiccupping as I went along.   About 5 minutes later, the cart attendent came up to me and gave me a glass of water after hunting me down in the store!  I was taken by complete surprise!  I thanked the lady profusely and have never forgotten her unexpected kindness!
