A Richman

Well, it was in the morning I took a walk to see around Rishikesh, India. I found one seller who sold popcorn. He just started to open his popcorn stall, the way how he earns money for life everyday. Ah this is cool.

I stopped buying that popcorn. It’s only 10RS per pack or about 2.000IDR. He was honest! What a lovely human. I felt so happy when I found the price was the same between foreigners and locals. Then, it took some time to prepare his shop. And I waited for him to prepare all the things and cook popcorn.

It was a kind of attraction for me to see how to make Popcorn in traditional way. Really! See the video, it was cooked by sand not oil with traditional equipment which is designed so well to keep popcorn stay inside! I think you will agree with me if this is so unique! 

I was taking a video of it. And he looked so happy with that and excited to prepare popcorn for me! But wait, this is not the main story I wanted to share with you.

Wish you have a happy life

Continue the story, actually, at that time I didn’t have small change. I had but it was only small coins. After he finished cooking, he prepared a package popcorn for me. And I purchased him with 100RS as I didn’t have any change. Then he said he didn’t have change also because it’s still morning. And asked me to purchase with change. I said I didn’t have too.

..

“Just take it”, he can’t speak English but I knew from his intonation and gesture.

“What?”, I felt surprised.

“Yes, it’s okay.” He wanted to give that popcorn for free to me!!!! Wow.

“No no no no”, Of course, I would not accept this.

..

Then I tried to look for my coins. And I asked him to pay with small coins. Because I wanted to eat that popcorn. And I didn't want to go to another seller nor accept his offer for free. Then he agreed! He was okay if I paid it with small coins I had. Cool :)

I purchased him with those coins. And he was feeling so happy, blessed and directly did pray with his hand as thankful to the god for money he got. Wow, It really slapped me! :(

Well, he is the real rich man, when he still wanted to share even he had nothing.
