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.
