Small Greatness

I don't smoke, but most of my friends do. Yesterday a young boy opened a very small cigarette shop in our neighbourhood. I was talking to my friend who is a smoker. He felt like smoking, but had no cigarette.He asked me to accompany him to a cigarette shop hardly fifty feet from my house. We came out and he saw the young man's shop. I told him the boy had opened the shop today. This new shop is more than hundred yards from there. My friend proposed to buy cigarette from the boy's shop. I wondered why he didn't buy from a shop just adjacent to my house. His reply stunned me. He said that the owner of the new shop is a boy and it was his first day at his shop. If we buy from him, he would get some money and it will encourage him. He was right.
