I went to the store today to pick up some things for dinner and as I was checking out, this little old lady was in front of me with just a handful of items. The cashier totaled up her purchase and it was a little more than the $25.00 that she had. The lady began going through her items seeing what she could put back. I told the cashier that I would take care of the difference. I handed the cashier my money and she asked me if I had a penny and I told her "No", so the lady behind me reached in her wallet and grabbed a penny and said "Here, I have one" The little lady looked at me with a shocked look on her face and said to me, "you don't have to do that" I said "I know, but many people have helped me along the way and so I am helping you." She had a little tear come to her eye and said, "Well, thank you. I wish I could pay you back." I said " I didn't do it because I wanted to be paid back. I did it because you needed it"
It only cost me a dollar and some change to brighten up someones day- but it was completely worth it!!
