“How much are you selling the eggs for?”, she asked him.
The old seller replied, “$0.25 an egg, Madam.”
She told him, “I will take 6 eggs for $1.25 or I will leave.”
The old seller replied, “Come take them at the price you want. Maybe, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.”
Taking the eggs, she walked away feeling she has won.
She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend.
The point is, why do we always show we have the power when we buy from the needy ones?
And why do we get generous to those who do not even need our generosity?
My father used to buy simple goods from poor people at high prices, even though he did not need them.
Sometimes he even used to pay extra for them.
I got concerned by this act and asked him why does he do so?
Then my father replied, “It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my child.”
