A young woman was sitting in the waiting area in an airoport. Since she had to wait for a long time, she bought a book and a pack of biscuits to pass the time more easily. She sat down and began to read. The pack of biscuits was between her and gentelmen sitting next to her. When she grabbed the first biscuit, the gentelmen helped himself with one. Although she was annoyed by this behaviour, she didn`t say anything and continued to read. She said to herself: what kind of man is he?If I only had a little bit of courage, I would put manners on him... Each time she took a biscuit, he took one for himself too,until there was only one biscuit left. She tought: Ah!Now I want to know what he will say when I have the last biscuit. Meanwhile he took the last biscuit, broke it into two and gave her a half. "That`s too much" she tought, so she took her things and walked out. When she felt calm, she sat down in a place away people`s looks. She closed the book and opened her bag to put half of the biscuit in. Surprisingly, she found a whole pack of biscuits in there. Therefore, she felt ashamed of her behaviour and realised that the pack of biscuits she had eaten from was the gentelmen`s who even shared the last biscuit with her without even complaining or being angry.
