THE BOY AND THE ICE CREAM

A little boy went into a restaurant and sat at a table. The waitress asked him what he wanted to order.
He asked the waitress how much a large bowl of ice cream was. She said fifty cents. Then he asked her how much the small bowl was. She was a little aggravated because she wanted the table for other customers, still, she was not rude to the boy and replied thirty-five cents.
The boy ordered the smaller bowl of ice cream.

When the boy left the restaurant the waitress went over to clean off the table, neatly stacked on the table was two nickels and five pennies.

The little boy didn't get the ice cream he wanted because he wanted to leave the waitress a tip.

There is no better tip, no greater gift, than an unselfish kindness.
