Reading...

Yesterday, I went to the supermarket with the prudence dictated by the new normal. Mask, gel and safety distance.

I then started to get the things that were on my short list, and when I was lining up to pay, between taking the money and storing the phone, the 500 Rufiya bill I had to pay fell on the floor, and the man who was in front of me finishing paying his purchases slowly bent down and picked up my note.

Woww.. How much education and kindness in these pandemic times - I thought. I held out my hand, waiting for him to give me back my money, trying to stay away, so that he would feel safe, while preparing to thank him for the gesture.

But suddenly, what he told me was  shocking - What's on the floor belongs to whoever finds it! - and just like that, he left ... naturally, as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

I looked at the lady behind me and the people next to me and they all looked at me in shock and disbelief, whispering things between them.

For a moment there, I was trying to evaluate myself. I wanted to do justice on my own ... I left my purchases, because I had no way to pay, and went after him to the parking lot, to have my 500.00 returned.

However, I realized that the people closest to the line came after me, curious to know what was going to happen ...

I spoke to him demanding my money but he just looked at me with contempt and acted like I was invisible.

When he got to the car, he slowly put his two shopping bags on the floor to take the key out of his pocket and open the trunk, and I thought - It's now or never!

I took the two bags and told him the same thing he had said to me - What is on the floor belongs to those who find it! - and I started running towards the exit, between fright and laughter, proud of my revenge.

The spectators started to applaud and I saw that the “smart guy” had been irritated after all, as he left the parking lot dropping security cones in his path.

I swear I felt a rush of adrenaline, fright and nervousness, but then I cried with laughter.

When I got home I opened the bags and found:
- 2 kg shrimp
- half  kg of pistachio nuts
- cheese and yogurt of two flavors
- whole grain bread
- 1 bottle of Aloevera juice
- 2 bottles of thelli rihaakuru
- 2 jars of strawberry jam
- 2 kg of very good quality beef
- 1 jar of mayonnaise

I had never made so many purchases with only 500.00 rufiya

And now here I am ... Having a glass of juice, eating and thinking as I write - am I a vigilante or a vindictive person?

HAVE YOU READ THIS UNTIL HERE?
This obviously did not happen to me. It's just a campaign to promote reading!

Reading stimulates the mind and imagination, makes us travel to other places and even helps communication.

If you want to copy and paste and produce a smile from your friends.

Please go ahead, stimulate someone else's mind. 🤣🤣🤣

Reading an entire article also prevents you from becoming a victim of click bait and fake news. 🤪🤪🤪 but I enjoyed reading. ☆

I LOVE U "Forever''

I see you standing there, I know how much you truly care, There is something, In the way you look at me, I get as close as I could ever be, Take my heart, Love will be our sanctuary. Fly with me upon a cloud, I love you dear, I always will be here, There is something, In the way you look at me, Forever and a day, it will always be. My dearest love, run to me, Even in a storm, I have need of thee. Take me to a secret place, Where flowers blossom in the sun, And love will be encased, You are the only one, I see you in the rain, and in the sun's embrace. There is something In the way you look at me, You are mine and I am yours, Forever in one life time, We are forever free.
