One young lady asked him, 'How much are you selling the eggs for?'
The old seller replied, 'Rs.5/- an egg, Madam.'
She said to him, 'I will take 6 eggs for Rs.25/- or I will leave.'
The old seller replied, 'Come take them at the price you want. May be, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.'

She took the eggs and walked away feeling she has won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend. There, she and her friend, ordered whatever they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill costed her Rs.1,400/-. She gave Rs. 1,500/- and asked the owner of the restaurant to keep the change.

This incident might have seemed quite normal to the owner but, very painful to the poor egg seller.

The point is,
Why do we always show we have the power when we buy from the needy ones? And why do we get generous to those who do not even need our generosity?

I once read somewhere:

'My father used to buy simple goods from poor people at high prices, even though he did not need them. Sometimes he even used to pay extra for them. I got concerned by this act and asked him why does he do so? Then my father replied, "It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my child”

她问道：“你的蛋怎么卖？”卖蛋的老头回答：“一个蛋5卢比，女士。”她对老头说：“我25卢比买6个，可以吗？不然我就走。”老头回答道：“回来吧，就按照你说的价拿走吧。这是我的开张，我今天一个蛋都还没有卖出去过。”
 
她买了蛋，带着胜利的感觉离开。她开着豪车和朋友到一个高档餐厅吃饭。在那里，她和朋友点了若干东西，只吃了其中一点点，还剩下很多。她们买单，账单是1400卢比，她给了1500卢比，告诉餐厅老板不用找了。
 
那天发生的事对于餐厅老板，可能很平常。但是对于那个可怜的卖蛋的老头，确是非常痛苦的一件事。
原因是：
为什么我们向需要帮助的人买东西，却要显示我们高高在上的权力？而对于不是特别需要我们慷慨的人却又如此慷慨？
 
有一次我读到一篇文章：
“我爸爸经常以高价向一些穷人买东西，即使是他不需要的东西。有时候就是他习惯了多付点钱。我对他这个行为有点担心，所以就问他为什么要这样做？然后我的爸爸回答：“这是包裹着尊严的慈善，孩子。”
