​This past Sunday, I was walking through the produce department at the Sprouts Farmers Market near my home when I overheard a conversation between a father and his preteen son. The boy asked his father, “What does a mango taste like?” The father, obviously trying to blow his son off said, “Like a mango.” The son came back with, “That doesn’t help.” The dad then came back with, “It’s sweet.” At this point, a man who worked in the produce department and had overheard the conversation said to the son, “Would you like to try one?” The son was shocked and so was the dad. The produce man then said, “Follow me and I’ll cut you a slice.” He then picked out a ripe red mango and cut pieces for both the son and the father. After they tasted it, they both raved about how good it was. At this point, the father asked the produce man to pick out four good mangos for them. When the episode was over, three people had smiles and the world had two new mango fans thanks to the kind thoughtfulness of the produce man.
