INTERESTING................My boss drove a luxury car
everyday and it was my duty to greet him and to open
the gates for him, as I worked as a watchman in his
villa. But he never responded back to my greetings.
One day he saw me opening the garbage bags outside
the villa in search of any left over food. But, as usual he
never even looked at me, it was like as if he never saw
anything! The very next day I saw a paper bag at the
same place, but it was clean and the food inside was
covered well. It was fresh and good food like someone
had just brought it from the supermarket. I didn't bother
as to where it came from, I just took the paper bag and
I was so happy about it.
Every day I found this paper bag at the same place with
fresh vegetables and all that we needed for home. This
became my daily routine. I was eating and sharing this
food with my wife and kids. I was wondering who this
fool could be! To forget his paper bag full of fresh food
everyday.
One day there was a big problem in the villa and I was
told that my boss had died. There were too many
guests coming to the villa that day and I didn't get any
food that day, so I thought that one of the guests must
have taken it. But the same thing happened the second
day, the third day and the fourth day. It went on like
this for a few weeks and I found it difficult to provide
food for my family, so I decided to ask the widow of my
boss for a raise in my salary or else I would quit my job
as a watchman.
After I told her, she was shocked, and asked me, how
come I never complained about my salary for the last
two years. And why was this salary not enough for you
now? I gave her so many excuses but she was never
convinced!
Finally in the end, I decided to tell her the truth, I told
her the entire story of the bag of groceries, and as to
how it was my daily provision. She then asked me as to
when this stopped. I told her that it had stopped after
the death of her husband. And then I realized that I
stopped seeing the paper bag immediately after the
death of my boss.
Why didn't I ever think of this before? That it was my
boss who was providing this for me? I guess it was
because I never thought that a person who never replied
to my greetings could ever be this generous!
The woman started to cry and I told her to please stop
crying and that I was really sorry that I asked for a
raise, I didn't know that it was her husband who was
providing me with the meals. I promised to remain a
watchman and be happy to provide my service.
She said to me, "I'm crying because I've finally found
the 7th person my husband was giving this bag full of
food to. I knew my husband was giving 7 people
everyday, I had already found the other 6 people, and all
these days I was searching for the 7th person. And
today I found out."
From that day onwards, I started to receive the bag full
of food again, but this time it was the son who brought
it to my house and gave it to my hand. But whenever I
thanked him, he never replied, just like his dad!
One day, I told him, "THANK YOU!" in a very loud voice!
He replied back to me to please not be offended when
he didn't reply, because he had a hearing problem, just
like his dad!
Oh May God forgive us all, for we have all, as humans,
judged another person without knowing the real story
behind their actions. May God forgive us all and guide
us towards the right path in life...
