After a man treated two homeless children to lunch at a restaurant, he was shocked by what he saw on the bill the waiter brought him.
***
He ordered a set lunch and looked out the window. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have a hundred things he had to do, so he just wanted to enjoy the scenery. But here are two children who were standing at the window and licking their lips, looking at how others were eating, who touched his heart, so he decided to treat them, and then the waiter brought him the bill.
Two young children followed the older man. He gave them a menu and asked with a smile what they would like to eat. Confused, they put aside the menu and pointed to the dish he had ordered for himself. The man called the waiter and ordered two more of the same.
The brother and sister looked at each other and then began to taste the soup, slowly at first, as if they were afraid of something, and then with all their might. For dessert, he ordered ice cream for them, and then the children went home, and the man ordered himself another coffee, feeling that he deserved it today because he had done something good.
Soon the waiter brought him the bill, and he was just stunned when, instead of the usual numbers, he saw a note: “It is impossible to save everyone! However, today you were able to save two! That’s enough!”
The man stared at the note for a long time and then took it with him. Now he had no doubt that the good was also returning like a boomerang.
What do you think about it?
