The honest street vendor

There are a few honest people left in the world, at least there's one man in Italy. One day this week, I stopped at a newsstand to buy some tickets for the metro. I handed him 10 Euro, or so I thought. Then, I walked down the street towards home but soon I heard someone running behind me yelling "scuzi, signora" and a man started excitedly babbling (and of course gesturing) in Italian. I managed to understand something about the man that sold me the tickets. So, he took my arm and led me back to the newsstand and the vendor was there waiting, waving 10 Euro at me. I had given him 20 Euro as the second bill was wrapped around the first one. Needless to say, it was heartwarming to know that he was honest and made an effort to make things right!
