An embarrassing experience
It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport.I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happeningbefore I reached my flat.In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by theBritish customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty.Itwas, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed mydiplomacy.I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question,"have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness,"Yes, hundreds of times."
"And you have nothing to declare?"
"Nothing."
"How long have you been out of this country?"
"About three months."
"And during that time you have acquired nothing?"
"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you."
He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked.The attack, when it came, was utterlyunexpected.
"Where did you get that watch?"
I could have kicked myself.Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in thebath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped.I hadgone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made astrange noise.It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face.I produced my own watch from a pocket, and addedthat I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiablegoods.And now may I please examine that Rolex?"
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then hebegan to search my luggage.

Kindness or Strangers
At the store where I worked, I noticed a young boy of about ten shopping alone with his school list. He placed everything in his basket and went to the checkout.
The young shop assistant told him the total price, $37.60. the boy was instantly disappointed and said he had only been given $20. He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.
He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, “ I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.
These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and called out, “ thank you!”
I was so proud of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure of giving was as great as receiving.
