A very cute and touching short story!

A 10 year old boy went to an ice cream shop and asked how much a big cone cost. The waiter said "15 pesos" the boy started counting how much he had in his wallet. Then he asked "how much a small cup costs?" The waiter said "12 pesos". The boy asked for a small cup, he had it and paid the bill, and left. When the waiter came to pick the empty cup, he was touched. The boy had left 3 pesos as a tip for him.



Lesson: try giving something to everyone out of whatever little you have :)
