Having some coins in your wallet...

On Thursday,

I met a guy in the underground offering people they could donate some money to children foundation that provided toys and equipments for ill children. For 10 CZK donation you get heart-shaped-label, for 40 CZK a small wooden whistle as "thank you". When he was trying to introduce himself to people in the undergroud, 4 of 5 refused to hear anything... Just one older lady gave him 10 CZK.

Then he approached me. I asked him if he could tell me more about this foundation, so I was shown official City Hall statement. Now, I was standing in the underground, surrounded by people, he said "as a young I will understand him" and donate some money. I knew I had just 50 CZK coin in the wallet and some big paper money... Now, it was time to decide what to do:

+ I felt like donating some money but not too much
- I said I had just 50 CZK coin, where he cannot give me money back
+ I saw his face wishing somebody would understand him
- I said to myself he would misuse the money he was collecting
+ simply I realised sometimes you have to believe in simplicity and fairness in the life . . .

So, I am keeping my wooden whistle in my handbag.

Much more was this story for me to think about one fact - wearing some extra coins in my wallet, you will never know when you will need them...
