A lady asked him: "How much do you sell the eggs?"
The poor vendor replied, "$ 0.25 an egg, lady."
He said: "I will take 6 eggs for $ 1.25 or I will leave."
The poor vendor replied: "Come get them at the price you want. Perhaps this is a good start because I have not sold an egg today. "

He took the eggs and left with the feeling that he won. She got into her fancy car and went to a restaurant with her girlfriend. There, they ordered what they liked. They ate little and left much of what they ordered. Then he went to pay the bill. The account was $ 45.00 He gave $ 50.00 and asked the restaurant owner to keep the change.

This incident might seem quite normal for the owner, but very painful for the poor egg seller.

The thing is,
Why do we always show that we have the power when we buy from the needy? And why do we become generous to those who do not even need our generosity?

I once read somewhere:

"My father was buying goods from poor people at high prices, even though he did not need them. Sometimes he paid them and more expensive. I was worried about this act and asked him why he did it? Then my father replied, "It is charity wrapped in dignity, my child"

I really hope that people stop being cheap and buy from those poor vendors rather than rushing to Walmart and such just to save some pennies. Sad society.

Bad people made bad society

Wow this story really inspired me thanks for sharing such great article.

I am glad you like it almost make me cry tonight

This is so true, I can relate totally to this. They price down hawkers in the street but drop thousands on a bottle that is worth a hundred in the clubs.

This is our world ..... the problem is that anybody thinks that his life cost more than other people ..... we are all same ......

El respeto siempre debe ser nuestra guía, la dignidad es tal como se observa en cada arruga de este hombre...

Respeto amigo ;)

Αυτό το αναρωτιέμαι και εγώ χρόνια τώρα, μάλλον γιατί υπάρχουν πολλοί ανασφαλείς που θέλουν ντε και καλά να επιβληθούν στους αδύναμους.

Αυτό π είπα κ σε άλλο σχόλιο απλά πιστεύουν κάποιοι ότι η ζωή τους αξίζει περισσότερο από την ζωή κάποιου αλλου

Δε ξέρω αν είναι αυτό που λες ή αν είναι μια κίνηση που γίνεται από μια συνήθεια τους κακή που κρατάει χρόνια και γίνονται υπερόπτες , αλλά δεν θα διαφωνίσω.

nice post keep doing like this and very sad for the poor old man how he struggle well i very much like your post
