That Sweet Aunty

Once upon a time, a rather cute, plump and mischievous boy went to visit his relatives during CNY. He was given RM10.10 (as an angpow) by his sweet and kind auntie . It was a big amount of money when he was 3, but after 5 years, it was the smallest angpow he received every year. He was wondering why this auntie liked to give the same amount of money, year in , and year out.

'Perhaps auntie can only count up to RM10.10,' he wondered. Being a financially cautious person, he kept the money in his piggy bank, and later put in the money in his bank account.

Then, before any body realised it, years went by and the boy had grown into a young father. It was his turn to distribute angpows to his children, his nieces and nephews, his neighbours' children and just any girl and boy he met on the auspicious CNY.

That beautiful and kind auntie was no longer there to see him do just that. Nevertheless, she was rest assured that the young man had understood why she had invested RM10.10 every year........... it was a lesson on sincerity and humility.
