I drove to work today in the car I've not been in for a while and there was a CD playing that's not mine. I enjoyed it and it felt like a little treat had been left for me to find. And so I continued the joy by leaving a book for someone else to pick up (it was quickly snaffled up with delight). I've heard that in Mongolia, mums sometimes leave a bowl of expressed breastmilk in the fridge and whoever first finds it takes it as a treat (there's a very different attitude to breasmilk in Mongolia to here).
I passed someone sleeping rough in my town one morning this week, so I left a snack bar on his bag so he had something when he woke up. Maybe he didn't appreciate it, but I liked the idea of him waking to find that someone had left him a little something.
What treat could you leave for someone to happen upon?
