I was looking at the menu, trying to decide what to feed my family that evening.
Just at that time an elderly woman came in. She was weak and confused with the menu. After asking many questions and ordering her meal for a long time, she pulled out her coin purse to pay, only to find that she was short of money.
I told the shop owner to tell the elderly lady that her order was free and I would pay. She was surprised as he told her someone had treated her to lunch. While they filled her order, I had them add a second meal, 2 desserts, a smile card, and a gift card to her bag without her knowing .
She got her order and I carried it to the bike for her. She then told me her name and how her days had got worse and worse until the visit to Paris. Her husband was in hospital and Paris was always his favorite place. But she had been struggling with the funds(资金) between household and medical expenses. After a few minutes of chatting she was on her way back to her husband.
When I went back into Taco Cabana for my order, the manager 46 it to me and I left with my bag happily.
When I got home, I discovered an extra free dessert and an order of chips and cheese in my bag. 47 is spreading. When we give to others, the act in and of itself is to give to one another.
