A good way to discover your shortcomings is to find what irritates you in others.
One day, the housewife put a box of chocolates on the kitchen shelf, but after an hour she discovered that the box had become noticeably lighter. Some of the sweets deftly moved into a paper bag that topped the mountain of the new cook’s belongings. Not wanting to embarrass anyone, the kind-hearted hostess simply took the candies and moved the box to the cupboard so as not to tempt anyone else.
After dinner that evening the cook announced that she was leaving work.
- Why? What's happened? - asked her owner.
“I don’t work for people who steal stolen goods,” the woman answered boldly.
