The White Elephant 6: Kindness
Mary: | Oh hi Peter. |
Peter: | Hi. |
Mary: | Are you ok? |
Peter: | Yes ... Perfect. |
Mary: | It doesn't look very perfect. |
Peter: | Well it is. It's just something took me by surprise. Look ... |
Mary: | £10? |
Peter: | Yes. It's my first ever tip. |
Mary: | Oh how sweet. Oh and it's a really big tip too - well done. You deserve it. But you'd better get back out there and earn some more ... |
Peter: | Oh yes ... ok ... thanks Mary. |
Gordon: | Ah Mary. I'll need you to wash those pans as quickly as possible please. |
Mary: | OK. |
Ceilia: | Gordon. Could you lend me £10? I need it for the milkman. |
Gordon: | Oh ... very well. There you go: £10. |
Ceilia: | Thank you! |
Peter: | Mary. I can't believe it. I've lost that tip that I was given. I thought I'd put it in my back pocket and then I went into the restaurant ... |
Gordon: | Oh dear Peter. A tip?! How very touching. |
Mary: | It was his first ... and it was a nice touch. Hang on Gordon, didn't I see you pick something up off the floor a minute ago? |
Gordon: | Well ... I ... no, I don't think so. |
Ceilia: | Hmm ... I see Gordon. Seeing as you're a kind and generous ... and well paid man, you could give Peter £10 ... just out of the goodness of your heart. |
Peter: | Thank you. |
