Last week in the Good Deed Feed we told the story of a kind stranger who paid someone’s $280 shopping bill at a local supermarket.
The other customer’s bank card was not working, and the good Samaritan simply reached forward and used his card to pay the enormous bill saying only: “I got you mate”.
This week we’d like to share a different story which was posted on local community site, Whitsundays Chat.
It featured another local resident who had a similar experience, only this time it was with a bunch of bananas.
When this young lady was at the counter of the IGA in Proserpine, she realised she was $3 short and so put her bananas back on the shelf.
Leaving the store, she thought nothing else of it.
That was until a group of high school kids ran up to her as she was getting into her car.
“One of the kids ran up to me with the bananas in her hand and gave them to me - they had paid for them - the school kids paid for them!” read her post.
“I felt terrible but also I couldn’t be anymore thankful for this beautiful gesture.
“They did not need to do that at all for me, but they did! I’ll definitely return the favour when I see them again - how beautiful of them.
“Thank you again. I love the Whitsundays community.”
The post generated over one thousand likes and dozens of comments.
This story also shows us all that whether you donate a large sum of money, or something as simple as a bunch of bananas, it can have the same ripple effect to both the recipient and to the broader happiness level within our community.
