When Rolando and I were in San Diego, I had the good fortune of being the recipient of generosity. We were going in to the San Diego Zoo when a woman approached us and asked if we were going ... to the Zoo.
My immediate reaction to this was distrust and suspicion. We were obviously in line to buy tickets. Anyway, we replied yes to her query, waiting for her to suggest to us that we should just buy her "extra" ticket in lieu of purchasing one from the box office. To our surprise, she said that she has an extra pass that she didn't need and wanted to see if one of us wanted to go with her. Since I was so surprised by this offer, Roland had the presence of mind to volunteer me to go in with this woman and her two grandchildren.
Up until the gate, I was bracing myself for some "scam" to befall me, but I passed through the turn stiles unscathed. And even after that, I was still waiting for something to happen, but all that came next was a good-natured, "Have a nice day", from this woman. To this I sputtered, "Thanks!"
Hmmm... How about them apples ...
