aunty at restaurant

we were at a chinese restaurant last saturday. we ordered fish head curry, japanese tofu and soup. the portions were big and halfway through, i was done.

a middle aged lady came to our table asking for food. since the food would be wasted otherwise, we decided to pack it and give to the lady.but the lady insisted on having the food with us as she said she has no home, so how to eat at home.

while the food was getting packed, the lady saw a bowl of soup by my side. she asked if the soup was mine. i said yes. she took and drank it.

the packed food arrived. the lady was not pleased. she grabbed it from the helper and went away without a word of thanks.

not that we did it to get her gratitude, but a simple thanks would've been nice.

i guess, she was just angry and hungry and feels she doesn't owe the world a thing.
