A woman had just stepped out of the shower when the doorbell interrupted her. Her husband was occupied, so she threw on a towel and went to see who it was.
It was Bob, their neighbor, and he had a surprising offer: “I’ll give you $800 to drop the towel.”
The woman considered it for a moment. Eight hundred dollars for such a simple thing? She agreed, let the towel fall, took the money, and closed the door.
When she went back inside, her husband asked, “Who was that?”
“Bob,” she answered.
“Good,” he said. “Did he finally pay back that $800 he owes me?”
Her heart sank. The money wasn’t a joke—it was repayment for a debt. She had just taken cash meant for her husband, all because she hadn’t bothered to ask why Bob was handing it over.
The moral? Always get the full picture before acting—or you might regret it later!
