She asked him, 'How much are you selling the eggs for?'
The old seller replied, '$.25 an egg, Ma'am.'
She said to 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.'
She took the eggs and walks away feeling she has won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend.
There, she and her friend, ordered anything they fancied. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered.
Then she went to pay the bill. The bill cost her $45.00 She gave $50.00 and told the owner of the restaurant to keep the change.
The point of this is,
Why do we have to 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 it?
I once read somewhere:
'My father used to buy simple goods from poor people at high prices, even if he didn't need them. Sometimes he would pay extra for them. I was interested by this act and asked him why did he do it?
And my father replied, "It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my child”
