The cookies by Marina Segura

Some time ago in an airport there was girl. She was bored so went to buy some cookies in a shop. After she had, she sat in a bank next to a man. While she was reading a book she had been waiting for a long time, the man took out the cookies and put them in the bank between the girl and him. She was really surprised "I can't believe this is happening! How much hardfaced is this man !" she thought. 

She tried to continue reading, but she couldn't concentrate as she was getting more and more annoyed at the man who was eating her cookies. When there was just one last cookie left the girl waited to see what the  reaction of the man was. "He will leave it to me" she thought. However the man didn't leave the cookie. Instead, he took it, divided in two parts and gave her the bigger one.

She was furious, so she just got up and go to the gate where her flight would leave from. Then, she sat in a bank and looked inside her back to check she hadn't forgot nothing she would need. Her face totally changed when she found the cookies she had bought an hour before. She had eaten the man's cookies!
