Girl was waiting for her flight in big waiting room on an airport. Since she had loads of time to wait she decided to read a book and maybe have some snacks. She went to the shop and bought box of cookies, came back to the waiting room and sat on an empty chair. Next to her was an empty chair and next to it old man was sitting and reading newspapers. She thought: "Perfect i'll have peace here." She opened the book and reached for the chair next to her where box of cookies was. At her great surprise just as she took one cookie out old man did same. She thought: "How rude of him!" but kept reading in shock. As she reached for another cookie the man did same. This time she was even more shocked and surprised and thought: "Look at this! If i was more courageous i would slap him! " but she controlled and didn't comment. This kept on till only one cookie was left in the box. Girl thought: " Let me see what he will do now! " Old man, without even glancing her just took last piece and divided it in two, ate one piece and the other left for her. "This is too much! How dare he?!" girl thought this, stood up very shaken by his act and feeling angry. She took her book and went to sit to another chair which was far away. When she felt a bit calm she opened her bag to put the book in and at her great surprise she saw box of cookies inside, unpacked. Girl felt very ashamed that she was a thief and more importantly she realized the old man had same box of cookies right next to him and he gladly shared it with her without any shock, nervousness or arrogance till last piece! Unlike her who felt angry and hurt....
