HOW MY TABLE TURNED!

It was a new session in my third year at the university since I wanted to stay in the hostel, I had to ensure I get a good bed space! Alas! I got one, a good room and a lovely bed-space, so I packed in.

We were just two in the room since others haven't resumed yet, I was really enjoying my new room and bed space since I had enough space and privacy to myself, it was all I wanted, not until one lovely evening when a lady came in and claimed to be the rightful owner of the space I was staying, I was angry and didn't agree so we took up the issue to the portress!

I was asked to excuse her and take the other space which I didn't like since she came before me and even dropped her proof with a portress on duty the same day she came. I was so angry and said all manner of ill words to her, I really did say bad words to her, but she was very quiet and just walked away,(Though she sold her space for another person, so she automatically wouldn't be my roommate).

A few days after, I had class and I became pressed, like really pressed, one could figure I wasn't alright on seeing me, I excused myself and decided to go to the hostel in school ( the hostel I was staying isn't inside the school), on getting to the school hostel, boom! I saw this lady whom I said all manner of ill words to, the same lady I talked down on! I was so embarrassed and shy but I managed to beg for her toilet keys since I was pressed. She was kind to me, she gave me the keys and even helped me fetched water which I used, after doing my business, I came out, I was surprised and also ashamed at how nicely she treated me, I apologized and asked for her forgiveness, we became friends.

MORAL LESSONS

✔️Don't talk when you are angry, kindly excuse yourself if you cannot keep quiet.

✔️Don't pay evil for evil( she wouldn't have helped me if she considered how badly I spoke to her)

✔️Be kind to people, table turns! (My table turned but she was kind irrespective)

✔️Treat people well irrespective of how bad they may have wrong you.

Your attitude towards people is also a message you're passing.
