4 things you cannot recover

A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport. As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies.

She sat down in an armchair in the VIP room of the airport, to read in peace. Beside the armchair where the pack of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magazine and started reading.

When she took out her first cookie, the man also took one. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: 'What a nerve! I would want to punch him for daring.'

For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating, but she didn't want to make a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought: 'what will he do now?' Then, the man took the last cookie, divided it into half, gave one half to her. That was too much. She took her book and stormed to the boarding place.

When she sat down in her seat in the plane, she looked into her purse for her spectacles, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, unopened. She was ashamed.

And now there ain't any chance to EXPLAIN, nor APOLOGISE..

There are 4 things you cannot recover:

THE STONE... after the throw!
THE WORDS...after it's said.
THE OCCASION... after the loss.

THE TIME... after it's gone.
