Betrayal

So this was just another day and I was going about my daily business at home. Along came a municipality truck and the cleaners and they knocked at our gate. Disregarding my mother's warnings, I opened the door and went outside to ask what they wanted. One of them, humbly asked that they just wanted to wash themselves at the tap and wanted some drinking water. I pointed to a tap outside our house and went in to get some water. I filled up a bottle and gave them the water.Then he asked whether they can have their lunch outside our gate. I said "of course". My mom warned me against all this. Then, all of a sudden, having finished thier lunch, they just vanished.
And they had left my tap half-running, left my gate open...and took my bottle away with them. I could not care less about the bottle but this is not done! I was reeling under a sense of betrayal while being subjected to well-earned scolding from dearest mum....:-(
No wonder people dont wanna help each other. I didnt expect any favour in return for what i did but just basic respect to the things I lent.I didnt get even that....I will not let this make me turn my back on someone who needs my help in the future. Nevertheless, it has left its mark.....Point Taken!
