'Maybe he was hungry?'

Sean forgives a soldier who stole his battered sausage.

鈥淪ean!鈥� says Hugh in Derry, 鈥渉ave you ever forgiven the soldier who took your battered sausage?鈥�
鈥淭hank you for reminding me of that,鈥� Sean says. 鈥淚 think I have. And for the benefit of anyone who doesn鈥檛 know it, the story is that we were out having a few drinks, a friend of mine and I. This was a few years ago. And we called into a local chippie called Dickie Gallagher鈥檚. I asked for a couple of battered sausages, and we were walking towards Rosemount. I had a plan for my journey to save the sausages, so I had eaten some chips, and nibbled one sausage, and one wasn鈥檛 touched. It was sitting in the paper. And an army foot patrol was out, and they were coming towards us and this soldier reached into my paper鈥� and took the battered sausage. I said a few nasty words at the time, as off he went, with it crammed in his mouth. But I think it鈥檚 time to forgive and forget. Maybe he was hungry鈥︹��
