Blunder..

Came 11.20am, we made our way to the old folks home to deliver rice. Its a volunteer thing that the company sponsors, and we just have to spend some time sending it up to the respective units. We had 4 packets to deliver and made our way to the top floor. On delivering our second packet, we went into the lift, pressed the lift button and went out. We were talking about life and old age and didn't really look at which floor we alighted at. When we got to the unit, we noticed that the old folk was not there. At the door was this guy, who looked as though he had not taken food for a decade. I asked him where the old man was, and the only response he gave was "No food, no food, no food". He took the rice from my hand, brought it to the floor and started eating it. We had a shock, and I asked him where the old man was. He said "I am the only one staying here". Just then, my colleague realised our mistake. We had alighted at the 16th floor, instead of the 15th. We rushed down, got to the rice and fruit stall and got some food for the old folk at 15th floor. Really hope it was ok for him. Next time, we'd better check thrice, before we pass anything to anyone thats not an old folk. On a lighter note, we're going for this childrens day event for the kids. They have a few booths we could mend, and the only one that seems to catch my fancy, is the one with cotton candy... yumm.
