Once, I went to visit my friend and for his own reason, he was going to be late for two hours. So I went to one of the book shops nearby and started reading books. I easily passed two hours reading books and discovering new books. But I was not there to buy any book and I hadn’t carried any money either.

And when I was about to leave, I was feeling difficult because I was in a book shop for more than two hours reading and taking every book out of the bookshelf that I was not going to buy.

So, with a little shy and shrinking face, I was trying to get through the door. But the madam on the front said, “Thank You for Your Visit.”

When she said so, it hit me hard. For two hours, I was just there turning the pages of the books. I couldn’t understand why she said so. When she said so sweetly, at least you came to visit our shop, I was so influenced by her attitude of gratitude (both to the buyers and non-buyers).

I met with my friend and returned back that day. The next time when I had to buy a book, I went to the same book shop because her Thank You had influenced me so much.
