There’s still hope for maids

On my way home, i was waiting for the lift and the ground level.

There was a CHIJ school girl who was with her maid. This girl could be around 10 years old. She said she needed 20 cents and wanted to borrow from her maid.

She started complaining that her daddy only gives her $1 a day and she cannot afford to pay 20 cents. However, she promised to return her maid the 20 cents later.

And the maid’s response…."Hiyah i give you the 20 cents lah." (with a grin on her face)

The girl replies,"Thank you so much…." and went on and on to complain about the tiny allowance her daddy gives her

In this century of scary maid and employer stories, it is still refreshing to see such sincere and close-knitted relationship between maids and their employer’s family
