Ah GongToday i went to a shop and buy something, i notice a fifty cent coin on the floor. Out of a sudden i remember my ah gong(mother side), he passed away when i'm still studying primary school. He was a temple keeper, the temple is located infront of the yishun swimming pool. His "office" is inside the temple beside the 添油钱(add oil money)box. Once in a while, my dad would bring me to that temple to pray and he would left me with ah gong in the "office". I saw a fifty cent coin on the floor and i told my ah gong about it. So when i went over and pick up the coin, my ah gong shouted:"xiong, what are u doing?"
Me: Ah gong, i pick up the coin.
Ah gong: Why you want to pick it up? It does not belong to you isn't it?
Me: ...
Ah gong: this is a temple, u r picking up something not belonging to you infront of god?
Me: but ah gong, it is just fifty cent...
Ah gong: taking something that does not belong to you is wrong, no matter is fifty cent or fifty dollar
After that my ah gong pick up the coin and drop it into the "add oil money" box
So i did not pick up the coin i saw just now and left... Believe it or not, i found out a fifty cent in my side pocket is gone... I had a feeling that fifty cent i saw jus now is mine... #$%^%$
But how come i never heard the coin drop??? too old liao la...
I believe grand parent always love their grand children more than their own children(our parent)
