WOW Gisela, what a awesome story. This store touched my heart deeeep.
It reminds me of some years back, it was some days before Christmas. I was shopping, and when I shop for Christmas I shop a lot good stuff. When I was looking at the meat, a old woman came and looked - went away and came back. She was looking strange around and took a steak of pig and putted it in her coatpocket and went away.
My wagon started to be overfilled with all my needs, so I started the way back to pay and go home with all this stuff. When I came there it was many people waiting, so I stood there - stood there, stood there for a long time waiting. Suddenly the old woman came up, wanted to pass us who stood there. I notised that she had a bit of hurry, and did feel so sorry for her. When she reached the second wagon infront, the steak was pressed up from her pocket, and the personal stopped her - the food was stolen.
The old woman stood there, tears started falling from her eyes, and she said please I am a poor old lady - do not call the police. I felt so sorry for the old woman, so I went up to pay for the stolen food for her, Christmas is for all to enjoy - so why not help a old woman I thought. She blessed me and was so greatful for what I had done, and some others thanked me as well.
Well, I was still waiting for my time to pay, and at last it was my time to finish. The woman that sat there said: You are a wonderful person with a good heart, but for the future - never pay for that woman again, she steal often, and have more money than most of the older customers we have here. That day I felt sooooo stupid, but in my heart I felt happy - I had helped a woman, if not for the food - so from be taken to the policestation (again), and she could celebrate Christmas with a non-stolen steak.
Keep on writing my friend, I like Your good stories.
Best regards
Arild
