A true life story my friend in Florida , shared with me just now.



ROSAS BLANCAS!

When in to a store the other day
Espanish owned - Spanish spoken mainly
Store charge reasonable prices , bargains
I joined the throng of shoppers looking around
Then I saw a shopper pick up a bunch of white roses
Took them out of the bucket of fresh water
Prest them to the nose - took in the aroma -the cent of the roses
Smile and close the eyes , so has to saver
Then the owner asked - '' Are you buying the roses? ''
The shopper look in to the eyes of the owner and said '' yes I am''
Smile as broadond as a smile can possibly be
The shopper , smile never flinched , it infect the smile grew wider
The shopper payed up and gave the roses to the store owner
'' Hear - they are fore you ''
Then with jaunty steps - walk out the store!

The owner , was left open mouthed
All the owner could say was - '' Theses Rosas Blancas , FOR ME!

It's great fun to catch someone by surprise with a kindness. Doing so does tend to make one walk more jauntily.

Oh that is such a wonderful story. And so well written. You know roses are expensive now. But it would be worth it to teach him a lesson :)

WOW! This one left me slack jawed. Ken you set me up all the way through this then hammered me with the forth line from the finish. This is positively the best short I've read in years. BRAVO!
