Sincere people do exist²⁰

After overpaying for the jacket, I went to a bakery. I told the lady to give me a dozen cookies. She said, “I am sorry. We only have eleven.”I said, “Fine, then give me eleven!”

She could have easily pretended that she had given me twelve. Who is counting? But some sincere people do exist. That’s why we are still alive.

Eight or nine months ago I drank some tea in that bakery. The lady still remembers. She always says, “You don’t want tea?”

This is that famous shop that always burns down. Previously there was another owner. He used to shake hands with me and give me everything half price. Whatever the item was, he used to give me half for free.
