A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of an airport. She needed to wait a long time, so she bought a book to read & a package of cookies. She sait down in her chair to wait for her flight and read & rest. By the chair where her cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magagine & started reading too.

When she opened the package of cookies & took out her first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing! She thought..."What nerve...I can't believe he would dare to take my food". For each cookie she took, the man took one also. This was infuriating to her but she didn't want to cause a scene.

When only one cookie remained, she thoguht..."Ah....what is this jerk of a man doing now?" Then the man, taking the last cookie, divided it in half, giving her one half just as she heard her boarding call. Ugh.......That was too much! She was very angry now! In a huff, she took her book, her things, and stormed off to board her plane. When she found her seat inside the plane and sat down, she looked into her purse to get her glasses. To her surprise, her packet of cookies were there......untouched....unopened!

She felt so ashamed! She realized she was wrong.....she had forgotten that her cookies were in her purse and she had been eating the stranger's cookies all along. The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter.....while she had been very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him. She shamefully looked around the plane but did not see the man anywhere. And now there was no chance to explain herself...nor to apologize!
