On a hot sunny afternoon,
I was strolling along the street, heading back to my house
Then I came across a handkerchief’s vendor moving from one car to another trying so hard to make sure he sells his products
This young man was sweating profusely that his clothes were so wet as if he was dipped inside the water pool
I felt so worried for him and called him to come over
And he did without hesitation believing I want to procure what he’s dealing
And I said to him: “Don’t you feel comfortable the way you’re selling something with sweats all over your body?, Can’t you just take it a handkerchief and try to clean your face at least that is what you sell for a living?
Then replied with this; “Sir, I can’t do it, it will surely affect me”
My feeling got so worst that I have to dip my hands into my pocket and paid for four handkerchiefs
I gave him three out of it to clean his face and body and I took that last one with me
The guy gladly said; “Thank you so much, this goes long way in my heart, Sir “
Then I continue my walk,
I was so disturbed in my heart that, “why can’t the guy just take an hankie”
After all, he's selling the precise stuff that will be helpful for him
Instantly, something dropped to my mind,
Understanding that there is a very big difference between “OWNERSHIP AND POSSESSION”
