The person wanted me to have the cheque, and make use of it whatever way I saw best.

Leaving the cheque on the floor, for perhaps someone else to find, wasn't an option. This person, who like I said earlier, isn't someone I know very well, is certainly no fool with their money.

It was an act of kindness, that demanded no recognition or thanks. I hope I spent the money wisely, and that it was used in the spirit it was given.
