6．On Christmas morning，I went to the Cockhedge Mall．People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements．I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of December．Picking up a few more things as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load．This line was next to the Customer Service desk．
Seemingly waiting quite a long time，I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind me making comments on the things I bought．
It was so funny when I realized that she was describing the contents of my basket．The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady．I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking．The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies．I said，"I'm not going to bother now．I had enough of shops and I'm going home．"
The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying"If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket，none of which needed to be weighed，I will check out their groceries at the desk．"Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted，the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye．
Eventually my turn came at the checkout．I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies．With a big hug she said"Hope you have a lovely Christmas．"She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge．
What a generosity to a stranger!I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather．My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family．Telling them this story，as we ate around the table，kept everyone spellbound．
