I woke up again in the Land of Lacking. I ate my last cup of applesauce because I had run out of oatmeal. I also ate a nutribar-I'm down to three. With nothing else to drink, I took my water. I got in my car -starting to run low on gas, and I headed over to see my sister at my dad's house.
I then landed in the Land of Plenty. I started snacking on some "cookies" my sister had made out of strawberry nutrimeal. They were addicting. After cramming down at least 10, my dad asked me to do a lunch run to Togos. I stopped by the ATM to use my dad's credit card he had given me to pay for the sandwiches. I then brought them home. Dad gave me $20 for gas money out of the change he got back.
After I got my fill of sandwich, I hung out with Treasure, Kitten, Owen, Alex, and Emily. 2 Dogs, 2 Cats, and 1 Monkey. My dad was going through stuff he wanted to get rid of an found a hair-dryer. He asked me if I needed a hair-dryer, and seemed surprised when I told him I didn't have one. I now have a hair-dryer. I was also offered some apples they had recently gotten off the apple tree in their garden. I now have some apples.
I drove home with more than I went in with. It seems that the more people have the easier it is to give stuff away without thinking or hesitating. I think that's why warm, heartfelt, compassionate people can give and give without asking anything in return, even when they don't have much.
Wait until you come across people who give even when they have very little...
