My younger daughter spotted some money on the church pew. First glance: “Oh, 20 AED.” Second glance: “WAIT… that’s 500 AED" The gentleman sitting there had no clue it had slipped out of his pocket while taking out his handkerchief from his shirt pocket. She tapped him, handed it back, and walked away like it was no big deal! The man, on the other hand, was overflowing with gratitude. Part relief, part disbelief.
