Anecdotes (Ganda!)

Thanks to Karla Garcia for these. I got them through text. Titles are my own. Some points are edited.

ONE GLASS OF MILK

One stormy night, there was a child knocking at an old woman's door. The child was wet from the rain and seemed unphased. The old woman prepared for him a glass of milk. She knew that the child's name is HOWARD. After which, the child was very thankful.

Several years later, the old woman got very sick. But she was now all alone in the world and no one could take care of her because she couldn't afford to hire a nurse. One day, she was admitted to the hospital. The whole time, she worried because she might now be able to pay the bill.

She woke up one day in the hospital and was told that her operation was a success. This baffled her because she never agreed to such since she didn't have any money to pay for it. She then saw a note that laid by her bed. With trembling hands, fearful that it might be the bill she has to pay, she took the paper and looked at it.

The note read:

Your bill has been paid with just one glass of milk. - Dr. Howard.

A BESTFRIEND'S SACRIFICE


When the baby boy was born, the family got a puppy to be his best friend. As the boy grew to be a handsome man, the puppy also grew to be a loyal dog to him. The boy eventually got married and had a family of his own, still the dog remained with him.

One day, the man went to the fields to work. His wife asked him where the baby was. He answered that he left the baby sleeping with the dog. The wife got mad and instantly scuffled to hurriedly head home.

When she arrived at the house, she saw the dog by the door with its mouth soaked in blood. Without second thought, she stabbed the dog to death and hurried towards the baby. She stopped in surprise when she saw that the baby was sleeping soundly with a dead snake lying next to her baby.

Well sis, talk about jumping to conclusions.. this is the worst case scenario of this, ever. makes us learn that no matter how senseless, irrational and sheer stupid some people can be at the first instance, there might be something big lurking beneath their beings (but the dog here was good hehe). somehow, we just have to have faith in them sometimes.. if that's what our intuition tells us that is. indeed, first impressions are the scariest but dig deeper we should. most often than not, we might be surprised with the results. =)
