The restaurant was only a quarter full when we got there. A couple in their thirties were seated about
three tables away. Their _
1_ was a little strange and it caught my attention. I've always been
2 to the
feelings of other people. I got the immediate
3 that this couple could
4 afford to eat out. At first I
5 the thought, but it kept appearing into my head.
I begans to feel a strong
6 to pay for their meals. I wasn't rich, but I could
7 it. So I followed
my intention and
8 the boss to pay their bill. I was told that they had
9 their courses and might still
order coffees, but so far the bill
10 $ 75.
When he asked
11 I was paying their bill I felt a little
12 as I tried to cover my feelings. I finally
replied, "When I saw that couple I got the feeling that they had to
13 to get what they've got. So I
decided to pay their bill.

15 .
"When the couple went to settle their account a
16 reaction could be heard throughout the restaurant.

20 at the
restaurant a smile spreads across my mouth, as I remember how once, I felt a strong desire to give freely
to another.
