Ms. Wong, a cab driver picked up a passenger who robbed her at knifepoint.
She surrendered all she had and said: “This is all I have earned today. You can take the coins in my pocket too.”
The robber was stunned by her frankness.
Wong continued: “Where do you live? It’s late. Your family may be worried about you. I’ll take you home.”
Her thoughtfulness moved the robber, and he put his knife away.
Ms. Wong elaborated: “My family has lived a hard life, but we are better off than before.
If you keep going along this path, your life is doomed!”
When they arrived at the robber’s home, Wong said: “Listen! You didn’t rob from me. I gave you the money.”
“Do something good with it and don’t rob again.”
The robber gave the money back to Wong. “I promise I won’t do this again, no matter what!” he said. (David Jirard, visiontimes.com)
