An Act of Generosity

Ian from Petone

Yesterday (Fathers Day) myself and my partner and daughter went out for a meal in Speight's Ale House in Petone. It was a delightful meal and the service was excellent.
As I went up to pay, I was told that some one who was at a nearby table had paid a sum of money off of my bill. I did not know who it was and they were gone by the time I went to pay.
I have no idea why they did this very generous thing, but I was very touched by the gesture.
If the person who did this is reading this, we wish to thank you very much indeed (and hope that it was not done in error).
Acts of unaccredited generosity certainly have a deep effect on people and considering that, one month previously, we had our car stolen, this has helped us to re-align our faith in human nature.
THANK YOU.
