A little girl made my day!

A little girl made my day!

Wednesday ~ 25th July 2007

I was just getting dinner from a coffee shop just now when I had this little experience.

I was standing at the store ordering my food and wanted to prepare my money for payment. However, I realised I was missing my coin pouch when before, I had it in my hands. I looked around but was not able to see it anywhere on the floor.
Standing beside me was a security guard.

I was beginning to feel like I could have left it in the car when I felt a little tap on my right arm. I turned around and a little girl was tapping on my arm.
She said to me," I think you dropped something but the man is standing on it."

I looked over to the security guard and was very suspicious of him. I pointed to his shoes and he hesitated to lift up his shoes and it took him awhile (acting blur) before he moved his shoes away.
And behold! My coin pouch was under his smelly shoes!!! He was standing on it on purpose!! What a lousy security guard!!! I was totally disgusted!

I picked up my coin pouch and thanked the little girl and her mum for being so honest!! I had to get some other stuff and decided to get some sweets for the little girl as a token of my appreciation! I encourage this kind of honesty and little children have to learn from young!! I went back to where the little girl and her mum was sitting and thanked them again! The mum didn't accept my token at first but I explained that this is very commendable and she deserved it. The mum accepted it and I gave the little girl my little token of appreciation!

I left happy but at the same time filled with disgust for such a dishonest security guard!

Thinking back to just now, I realised that he was standing on my left when I first arrived at the store.
However, when I realised my coin pouch was missing, he was standing on my right (where he stood on my coin pouch)!

I don't think he is local though.
Totally disgusting!

Honesty!!
Let's practise HONESTY!!
