Valuable Lesson

Approaching the restaurant of the supermarket, we noticed the elderly gentleman waiting to be served and fell in line behind him. He was soon served and went to pay. Suddenly my daughter dashed away and we made to stop her. What we hadn’t noticed but she had, was that the gentleman had dropped a handful of coins which she was on her hands and knees retrieving. For her efforts she was rewarded with a £1 coin. Acts of kindness are always rewarded. May not always be monetary but a grateful look or heartfelt thanks are just as much a reward.
