A Bag of Chips
A $6 Bag of Chips
A little boy of 9 or 10 said, "Want to buy some chips?" Stranger replied, "How much and for what purpose?" The little boy told him, but he quickly forgot and asked the kid if he could change a twenty. He said no, but ran to check with an older sister of 12 or 13. They returned with $14, and the stranger gave her the twenty. Nice kids, polite, well dressed. The generous stranger's heart wept as he drove away.
