One day, a ten-year-old boy went to an ice cream shop, sat
at a table and asked the waitress, "How much is an ice-cream cone?"
She said, "seventy-five cents." The boy started counting the coins he
had in his hand. Then he asked how much a small cup of ice-cream was. The
waitress impatiently replied, "sixty five cents." The boy said,
"I will have the small ice-cream cup." He had his ice-cream, paid the
bill and left. When the waitress came to pick up the empty plate, she was
touched. Underneath were ten cent coins as tip.
The little boy had consideration for the waitress before he
ordered his ice-crearn. He showed sensitivity and caring. He thought of others
before himself. If we all thought like the little boy, we would have a great
place to live. Show consideration, courtesy, and politeness. Thoughtfulness
shows a caring attitude.
