The story has been told for a traveler at an airport who went to the snack area and bough a small packet of cookies to eat while she read her newspaper. As she was reading, she heard a noise and was shocked to see a neatly dressed man helping himself to her cookies. Not wanting to make a scene, she didn't say anything but leaned over and took a cookie herself.
A few minutes passed and she saw that the man was helping himself to another cookie. Now there was only one cookie left.She was furious but didn't say anything to the man.Then to her astonishment the man broke the remaining cookie in two, pushed half across to her, ate the other half and left.
Still upset with the man, when her flight was announced, the woman opened her purse to get her ticket. To her shock, there was a package of unopened cookies!
How often have we made wrong assumption about things we see or hear? Have we hurt someone because we made a wrong assumption without finding out all the facts?
