Moments Forgotten

While walking home on a windy evening, here's a scene worth recounting:

"Kid wants to buy 8 lt of milk for some unkown reason from a small, dingy diary shop located in a swank business neighbourhood.  Shopkeeper is obviously thrilled over such a deal. Kid takes the 16 packets in two different "plastic covers". Pays his good man and is about to leave. Remembers that silly "plastic cover" ain't gonna hold all the weight. Asks the Man for two more "covers". Man cringes and exclaims the loss of his 8 anna for those "covers". Perplexed Kid retorts and asks Man "Why such a stingy approach when u living in such a posh area?". Man looks up and hands the covers. Before Kid leaves, Man looks up and says, "Over here, everyone knows the importance of a single paisa spent". Kid moves back slowly. Re-learns the first lesson in commerce from the roadside vendor. "
