A Perfect Lesson

It was a regular day at work. I had just talked to my boss and he directed me to be at the office shortly as he would arrive in thirty minutes. Considering that I still had time, I brought some sweets and parked myself at a bench under a shady tree. After some occasion, a homeless man arrived and greeted me. He commenced eating my sweets without my permission. At first, I let him have it, but after a while, he took sweet after sweet and ate it. Now he was getting on my nerves, but I didn't know what to do. So, I had one myself to signal that they were mine. Although, once again he took a sweet and ate it. At this point, I was getting so angry that I might have even slapped him on the spot. Although out of petty, I remained silent and let him continue. He rose up, grabbed the last sweet and split half with as if he was doing me a huge favor. He rose from the bench and walked down the street. I realized my boss would arrive shortly so, I started to gather up my belongings, and at the corner of my eye, I spotted a box laying under my coat. I picked it up and saw that it was my box of sweets, it then came to me that he had been letting me eat his the whole time. This meant that all this time I was eating his sweets out of greed. I may have more money, but the man was richer from the heart.
