A woman was waiting at an airport one night
with several long hours before her flight,
she hunted for a book in the airport shops,
bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engrossed in her book but happen to see,
that the man sitting beside her as bold as could be,
grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between,
which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.
She munched cookies and watched the clock,
as the gutsy cookie thief, diminished her stock.....
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
thinking, "If I wasn't so nice, I would blacken his eye."
With each cookie she took, he took one too,
when only one was left, she wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh,
he took the last cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half, as he ate the other,
she snatched it from him and thought.......oooooooh brother,
why he didn't even show any gratitude.
She had never known when she had been so galled,
and sighed with relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate.
refusing to look back at that thieving ingrate.
She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat,
then sought her book, which was almost complete.
As she reach in her baggage, she gasped with surprise,
there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes.
If mine are here, she moaned with despair,
The others were his, and he tried to share.
Too late to apologize, she realized with grief,
that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief!
How many times in your life have you absolutely known that something is a certain way, only to discover later that what you believed to be, was not?
