The Last Doughnut

There it is. The last doughnut. It’s sitting there quietly untouched in its glistening packaging. You know it’s not yours because you had one yesterday; and you don’t even know who brought them in. It’s yesterday’s food but it’s still there. Surely it’s polite to save it for whoever bought them. But will it go in someone’s tummy, or will it go in the bin? Or will the cleaner steal it for her breakfast? That’s the ultimate question because if the bin is going to win then surely you’re entitled to have a bite and make sure that it goes to a good home? It’s a shame to let it go to waste; but it’ll be more polite if someone else eats it. But is anyone brave enough to? Or is it best to let it go and walk away calmly knowing that you haven’t got a reputation of scavenging food off everyone.
