“What insolent people there are in this world!!!” I heard the owner of the supermarket grumble to his friend...
“A man orders a case of chickens, I keep it on the side for him, and now when I am closing the supermarket, I call him and ask him why he hasn’t come for it and he says that in the end he doesn’t need them!!! Who can I sell them to now???!!!”
I heard his grumbling as I was standing opposite the empty refrigerator case empty of chickens. I could not believe what I was hearing. I was arranging a family Simcha for this Shabbos and in all the confusion I forgot to buy chickens and I needed a case of chickens, and it was not possible to get them at this late hour...
I approached and asked to see the case, he nervously asked me how many I need, I saw the case and it was a hechsher that we use and I took the whole case!!! He looked at me with amazement and I told him what had happened and Heaven had prepared for me beforehand the chickens that I was looking for.
With much feeling he broke out in laughter and forgave that insolent man who was chosen by Heaven to be a messenger for me...
