“159th story”
Payam walked in the park near his house, every morning before work.
Every day, a man his age was walking in the park too and shook his head to Payam to say hello.
Payam and Saman became friends after a while.
One day Saman told Payam that he had to do a road trip for a job matter. As a matter of fact, Payam needed to do something in that same city and said he would join if it was Okay with Saman.
Saman agreed, and both new friends drove with Saman’s car to the destination.
On the way there were two convenience stores, Saman stopped in front of the poor-looking one, to get some snacks. Payam said: “The other store looks better, let’s go there.”
Saman said: “Looks like that store is doing good; let’s give this one business.”
After a long drive, near the entrance of the destination city, three guys were selling natural honey. Saman stopped and bought one bottle from each guy.
Payam said: “Why did you buy from all three of them? Did you really need three bottles of honey?”
Saman said: “I couldn’t break their heart. I had to buy from all of them. We need to support small businesses.”
They parked the car in the city to have some food. A boy jumped in front of them to sell Kleenex. Saman bought all eight boxes of Kleenex from the boy.
Payam said: “You could buy twenty boxes of Kleenex from a supermarket with that money. You paid too much to this boy.”
Saman said: “I know, but this little guy is probably supporting a family, we need to help each other.”
An older adult was sitting in a corner with a scale. Saman said: “Let’s weigh ourselves.”
Payam said: “I have a scale at home.”
Saman said: “I do too, but this is how this guy is doing business. Let’s help him.”
Saman made several more good moves on that trip.
Saman was a simple employee with a broken car and was very generous to the people around him.
And Payam was a business owner, with a great life and stood there watching and wondering. Payam never looked at the people around him as someone who would need his help.
Now he learned decent people are crying for help, and we just pass and ignore them.
Fabulous story. Generosity needs only kind heart.👌👌

You are right, sometimes yes, mostly no. Thanks John.
I loved Saman’s behaviour, it’s good to help each other,but there must be a limit for that as well. Charity is good as long as it doesn’t destroy yourself. Thanks for sharing.
Love you.
Love the lesson of supporting our small businesses and street vendors. Our money goes a long way in helping those who are truly in need.
You have a kind heart Rosaliene.

E poi l’imprenditore deve ricordare che il suo benessere passa anche per le mani di chi lavora per lui. E va rispettato.
Se tutti avessimo le stesse possibilità il mondo sarebbe equo e migliore.
