Kindness is Quicker

I was carefully picking tiny cucumbers from the bin of picklers at the farmers market when I noticed someone waiting patiently to my left. "I'm sorry," I said. "Am I in your way?"

"Yes," the market worker answered, nodding to the crate of cukes he was waiting to add. But before I could step aside, he pulled a little cucumber of just the right size from his crate. "How about this one?" he asked.

"Perfect!" I answered, "Thank you!"

From there, it was quick work for the two of us to fill my bag. "I appreciate your honesty when I asked you if I was in the way," I laughed, "and it was really nice of you to help me! Thanks again."

"You're welcome," he said, dumping his cucumbers in the bin.
