No gratitude for 10 received

I'm on my way home, as I'v closed for the year! hurray for a journey so far,good though laced with stress and storm. Anyway, I saw a little scene that reminded me of a few weeks back. I received a cash gift of 10pounds from my elder sister. I'd not requested for it,but she sent it through a friend who was visiting Africa. So hurriedly I changed it,and I got N2,470. That was enough to get my cologne. And I did with it. At first I was almost caught in the web of ingratitude,for I felt it was needless to send what i first termed paltry. But i soon realized the spirit that sent the gift was more important than the gift. Back to my reason for writing you dear note, I saw a man receive a gift today. Obviously he felt beguiled by it. He received a cash gift in the same numeration which i also received. it was however in naira. I saw his excitement demystify as he received this N10. I was sorry for him really cause i knew it was worthless to him. Atleast,if it bought anything,probably sugar. Or probably cigar,and i'm not sure of the later cause i don't use it. But there was no gratitude for 10 received for the recipient,was all full of grumbling which was infectious!
