Almonds - An employee at a nursing home was regularly offered a large jar of almonds by one of her very elderly male patients. She apprecated the gifts because she loved almonds. But she had to put her foot down. It wasn't really right for a patient to keep giving her gifts. When she spoke with him about it, he said "Oh the almonds? They didn't cost me. My family likes to bring me chocolate coated almonds everytime they visit. But I can't chew them, so I just suck off all the chocolate."

South Africa
Helpful Kids - A woman had just finished shopping when a group of homeless children offered to help her to her car. She accepted and when they were done, one of them asked her for a tip. Which she had also agreed to. While she drove off, a man ran up to her car and said she should go straight to the police station. One of the children locked himself in the trunk of her car and was going to attack her later with a knife.
