Amazing thing to have and a little ingrate

Watermelon is one of the healthiest things to have. It contains a lot of liquid, so it may quench your thirst very quickly, and it has packs of vitamins. I once observed a soccer game between two teams of boys aged between 8 and 10. That game was very close and ended in a good high-resulting score for soccer - 4:3 or 5:4 (I don't remember exactly). However, the coach of the losing team was very smart. After the game, he gave a piece of watermelon to each player on his team, so that they could quench their thirst and partially restore whatever chemical elements and vitamins that they used up for that hard-fought game. As I saw a child (one of those soccer players) carrying that piece of watermelon, I made a remark drawing my girlfriend's attention to how sweet it was to have a watermelon after a soccer game. That child heard me, and, as a result, didn't even take a bite of that piece. He deliberately threw it into a garbage can that was right next to him. Good and flattering words from me, and, BOOM - off in a garbage can. All I could say was: "What a brat!" Since then, it has always been one of my funny stories about watermelon and a little ingrate that I saw at a random soccer game.

Very true! He might have been too upset to eat it after the loss.

What you said about the watermelon can actually be taken more than one way. Could be a simple misunderstanding on his part or he had already planned to throw it out from the start. Not everyone likes it. Whatever the case , its a waste. He should have given his half to someone else.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Yes u are absolutely right, in fact even i have heard that watermelon is very nutritious for our health and should be taken along with other fruits. The incident that u have described here was very funny and i think that small kid should not have taken your words that seriously. In fact he wasted that water melon for no reasons. He lost out something nutritious to eat that moment. What say?
