I bought groceries and ate my first meal in this foreign country thanks to them. Until that day, I buy from their small store, and sometimes, I chat with the kind wife.
On my first day in a foreign country, hungry, alone, and language-confused. Hunger drove me to a small market. Holding out a $20 bill. The man shook his head, misunderstanding my intention. He thought I sought to exchange my Dollars for the local currency. Desperately tried to clarify. "Do you speak -my native- language?" his wife inquired. They exchanged my dollars, despite being a small neighborhood market.

It is so often the case that the biggest acts of kindness are found where least expected, and they can generate lasting loyalty. Both are nicely portrayed here. Comments are closed.
