A rich man got annoyed when he saw a large woman on the seat next to him in first class. Irritated, he ridiculed her size, saying, “Lady, you should book TWO seats when you travel!” Her eyes welled up, and she turned away to hide her tears.
Ignoring his rudeness, the flight attendant asked her, “Would you like something to drink, ma’am?” She replied, “Yes, a Diet Coke, please.” James sneered, “Isn’t it a bit late for a Diet Coke?”
Later, the flight attendant returned with unexpected news, “The captain is a huge fan and invites you to the cockpit.” The rich man watched as the woman followed the attendant.
The captain then announced over the intercom, “We have a celebrity on board! Fans will recognize this voice!” The passengers erupted in applause as she sang beautifully.
Returning to her seat, she confronted the rich man, “You should never treat people like that. I can’t help my weight, but you can change your attitude.” The man, humbled and silent, reflected on his actions for the rest of the flight.
