Here's a touching story with an important lesson...

A Sweet Lesson in Humanity

Years ago, a 10 year old boy approached the counter of a soda shop
and climbed on to a stool.

"What does an ice cream sundae cost?" he asked the waitress.

"Fifty cents," she answered

The youngster reached deep in his pockets and pulled out an
assortment of change, counting it carefully as the waitress grew
impatient. She had 'bigger' customers to wait on.

"Well, how much would just plain ice cream be?" the boy asked.

The waitress responded with noticeable irritation in her
voice, "Thirty-five cents."

Again, the boy slowly counted his money.

"May I have some plain ice cream in a dish then, please?" He gave
the waitress the correct amount, and she brought him the ice cream.

Later, the waitress returned to clear the boy's dish and when she
picked it up, she felt a lump in her throat. There on the counter the
boy left two nickels and five pennies. She realized that he had
enough money for the sundae, but sacrificed it so that he could leave
her a tip.

The moral of this sweet story: Before passing judgment, first treat
others with courtesy, dignity and respect...
