| The following is a true story. A beggar sat at the entrance of the Cuatro Caminos underground railway station. A young woman came and gave him five coins. A little later, the woman came back and said to the beggar: I am so sorry. Do you remember me? A moment ago I gave you five coins. Couldn�t you give two of these coins back to me? I am .... because.... I have run out........ The woman looked at the beggar and repeated her words as she saw that he was senile. She hesitated for just a second, and then she put down three big bags full of groceries at the beggar�s feet, said good-bye with a smile and ran away. Can you think of an explanation for the way she behaved? |
