Little boy & icecream
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year old boy
entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass
of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the
waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied
the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he
inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was
growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied."
The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice
cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the
table and walked away.
The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the
waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There,
placed beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies - You
see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to
leave her a tip.
The moral of the story: don’t underestimate any one even if he was a
little child..
