$2

If you happen to be a foodstall holder and an old lady in her 80s, who has problem walking even with a walking stick, comes up to you and ask if you could do her a favour by selling 2 packets of rice with just $2 so that she and her handicapped friend could have something to eat, would you sell it to her?

Well, that was really what happened yesterday at my dad's stall. I can't help but feel really sorry for her. I couldn't help but hold my tears back. In the end, my dad sold it to her. I'm not trying to say that we had a really big heart of compassion but it's really painful to see that there are still so many people out there who needs our help. At that moment, I just felt I was back in sec sch helping out at CIP projects and the joy I got out of it.

However, what made me really regretful was that I should have given her a bigger bowl of rice but instead, I gave only 3/4 of what I usually give to other customers to her just because she only had $2. My dad also cut down on the amount of meat that went with the rice.

I don't know but I just felt that we shouldn't have done that... right?
