Looking back as a 21-year-old it's not a big deal, but kind of a cute story I guess :lol: I was 6 years old, and I had a favourite a stuffed toy, a small pig. I'd had it for years and I was carrying it with me literally everywhere, I wouldn't leave the house without that pig, not even for a walk to the nearby supermarket. Of course I slept with it every night, all my relatives and friends knew it, etc.
So, one day I went shopping with my family, and I took the piglet with me as usual. Just as we were done with the shopping and were leaving for the car, I suddenly realised that I didn't have the pig with me. I looked for it everywhere, all my pockets, all our bags, etc, but it was lost. We walked back to the shopping centre and checked in every shop where we had been earlier, asked the shopping assistants, but nobody had seen it. At this point I was already crying my heart out, I just wept and wept and a lot of people asked us what the matter was. Then we went to a shop where they sold pretty big and very expensive toys, they cost far too much for my family's budget. But one lady working in that shop asked me why I was crying so hard, my mother explained her the matter. The lady took a huuuge stuffed animal from the shelf, which was very expensive for a toy, and told me I could have it for free. My parents went through the formal process of "Nooo, we cannot accept that, it's not a big deal" etc, but the lady insisted that I should take the toy, without paying any money. Of course I was still inconsolable because I wanted my little pig and not a big, brand new toy, but looking back, that lady was extremely nice.
