Auto fare or fair??

Last evening, I was waiting for an auto to my house which was 1 and 1/2 kms of distance.

I halted an auto and told the driver the location to my house and asked for the fare, he said 15 Rs Madam, for a second or 2 I looked at him and repeated the same question, he said Rs 15 Madam, I was still in a state of shock and got into the auto. I still could not believe what I heard I asked him again “did you ask for Rs 15 ?, he said yes madam.” I asked him, whether he is new to auto driving?, he said “the place you wanted to go is on the way to my home, and if you would nt have come, I would have gone empty so I did nt want to charge you much”.

I was thinking that when I leave the auto, I will pay him an extra Rs 5. My place came, I gave Rs 20 instead of Rs 15, he immediately gave Rs 5 back and said this is enough Madam.

I still could not believe and said to my self the famous Vadivelu's dialogue "Evar romba nalavaru" he is a gentleman.
