Kindness at Pumpkin Fest

"Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead."
 Charles M. Schwab

Dressed in all their orange finery, two women went to their favorite gourmet supermarket for a Pumpkin Fest a pumpkin tasting experience.  To their disappointment, there were only two stations with pumpkin items one employee making pumpkin pancakes and another serving pieces of pumpkin pie.  Then along came the store manager to see how the pumpkin tasting was going.  The women told him that there should be more pumpkin items to sample like pumpkin salsa, so he told one of his employees to open the pumpkin salsa and bring chips to go with it.  Then one of the women told him that she really wanted to taste the pumpkin whoopie pies.  "Go get the whoopie pies," he told the woman, who grabbed the box of pumpkin whoopie pies and held them triumphantly above her head as she called out to her other friend.  The store manager was patient, friendly and kind  even as the two pumpkin enthusiasts wreaked mild havoc in his store.  But the two women suspected that he might have taken the next day off to recover from their visit.
