nice people

: black pepper chicken set pls
(starts searching for wallet in my bag. gropes around for a long time. Reality sinks... uh oh.. forgot to bring wallet out)
: err.. can i cancel my order?
stall guy gives me a quizzical look..
: i forgot to bring money out...
(i can feel myself turning red with embarrassement)
stall guy: its ok. u can give me the money another day. anyway, the food is cooked.

--------------------

old lady sits next to me. Asked me for the time
: its 9
lady: how much is your food?
: 3.50
lady: oh mine is 4.50. expensive...

she must be feeling lonely and wanted conversation. After that she started talking to the little boy sitting on the other side. Stuff like what are u eating, how old are u ...

i thought the boy was being very nice and polite to be answering her questions. I can so imagine some kids thinking that this old lady is nuts or something. After all kids can be mean. so mean at times.

so i conclude, there are nice people out there.
