The receptionist lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes. She was ashamed of her pride and prejudices. Deep down, she regretted having judged a man based on his appearance.
The manager personally escorted the peasant to the hotel’s finest suite. Before leaving, the peasant turned and smiled at the assembled guests:
« Rich or poor, one doesn’t judge by one’s clothes. A peasant can be a benefactor, a worker can bring extraordinary stories. Treat everyone with respect: that’s what matters most. »
These words echoed for a long time in the hall, plunging everyone into silent reflection.
That night, the peasant’s story spread quickly throughout the hotel. Everyone learned a lesson: never judge people by their appearance alone.
From that day on, the receptionist’s attitude at work changed. She became more patient, more polite, and more sincere with every customer, rich or modest.
