"Hey, boy. You dropped your RM1 (around 70 pence) note on the floor. Pick it up", this auntie said to me nephew the other day while he waited for his mom to pick him up.
"It's not mine", he replied politely, not wanting to pick it up.
"Oh. Well, take it anyway".
"My mother told me never to take things which are not mine", he protested.
"Never mind, boy. Pick it up, la. Take it and keep it", she insisted.
Being the obedient little fella, he went over to pick up the little blue note from the ground.
The minute she left him alone, he dropped the note back on the ground where he picked it up from.
When asked later why he did that, he simply replied that it was not right for him to take money which doesn't belong to him!!!!
You may think what you want about him - but i'm one proud uncle when i heard that!
*One of his hit songs on his album, 52nd Street which was his first #1 album. This was also one of his many songs he performed for free in Rome last year on the 31st July. Wish i was there!!!
