There was
once a newspaper vendor who had a rude customer. Every morning, the Customer
would
walk by, refuse to return the greeting, grab the paper off the shelf and
throw the money at the vendor. The vendor would pick up the money, smile
politely and say, 'Thank you, Sir.'
One day,
the vendor's assistant asked him, "Why are you always so polite with him
when he is so rude to you? Why don't you throw the newspaper at him when he
comes back tomorrow?"
The
vendor smiled and replied, "He can't help being rude and I can't help
being polite. Why should I let his rude behavior dictate my politeness?"
