The Conversation

The lady came by and said, 'Sister, do you know how to reach Parrys from here?' [For those who don't know, it is a locality in Chennai]
'Am not sure which bus stop, but most 7 series would take you there.' said the girl.
She said, 'No sister, I want to know how to walk there.'
When the girl said 'Oh, you can't walk that far - it is quite far from here,'
the lady said 'I have to meet my brother-in-law and I don't have money for the bus, so I have to walk...'
So, the girl gave her money for the bus fare...
The lady was thanking her - 'That's ok' the girl said and the lady thanked her again and started walking faster.
A couple of steps ahead, the lady said 'Don't mind, sister? I am going to meet my friends first. I'll then go to my brother-in-law's place... don't be angry, huh?'

Of course the girl wasn't angry - just that she wonders every now and then, why this lady said that - just being honest?
