A 9 year old boy went to an ice cream parlor, waiter asks..what do you want? boy: How much a ice cream cone cost? waiter: 1 dollar - then the Boy checked his pocket & asked cost of a small cone? Irritated Waiter angrily said: 75 cents Boy ordered a small cone, ate it, paid bill and left. When the Waiter came to pick up the EMPTY PLATE, tears rolled down from his eyes..the boy had left 25 cents as a TIP for Him.

Do anything what you can just by heart. The smallest thing will become the biggest in someones heart.

Sounds interesting. The waiter should have not been so irritated. He should have known the boy could not pay for a whole cone. And I do not think he expected to get a tip.

I like that story! That's what makes people remember you, something like that and it would make the waiter maybe wake up and realize that he could have done something else for the little boy and maybe from then on out not count kids as non people. I bet something like that, next time the waiter would just pay the kids bill for him. selfless.

That is so sad! It really makes you stop and think about the small things in life that we do that affect the people around us. I will often make up the small differences for children at a register. One time I was on line in Goodwill and there was a man in front of me. He had a suit, 2 ties, and 2 shirts. I heard him telling the cashier that he finally had an interview lined up - he had been out of work for over a year. When she rang him up he was shy about 4 dollars so he was going to put back something - I told him please don't - allow me to pay for it and good luck getting that job!! It made me feel so good to be able to do that! Well worth the 4 dollars.

Outstanding gesture! Hope we can all learn to wow people. Happiness comes from and through the Lord Almighty. While I know I cannot give anyone happiness, I can help put a smile on someone's face by simply doing the right thing.

Wow a very touching short story. Thanks for sharing! :D I thought it was some kinda joke or something. But hey it was really a touching story. Oh well that story i believe really happens in real life. Sometimes you get annoyed to those people we met at first then they will do something that can touch and melt your hard cold heart. Good story anyway.

One day this old lady was mad at the world. Most people usually keep their distance. I try to kill people with kindness. It is amazing how a smile can really effect others.

Sometimes when I drive by someone that seems genuinely homeless out on the street corner I'll go get them a combo meal from Mcdonalds or jack in the box.
