A Lady asks: "How much do you sell your eggs for?" The old vendor replies "50 cents an egg, madam". The Lady says, I'll take 6 eggs for $2.50 or I'm leaving. The old salesman replies buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live. She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.
This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller.
The questions it raises is:

I once read, that a father used to buy goods from poor people at high prices, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he paid extra for them. His son was amazed. One day the son asked him "Why are you doing this dad?"ย
Then the father replied, "It's charity wrapped in dignity, son."
