My family and I went peach picking today and my dad shared a story with me that is worth sharing:
"I was standing in line to buy the peaches when I saw this little boy going towards the ice cream fridge. The boy looked like he might have a some sort of problem, maybe autism. He reached into the fridge, grabbed a popsicle, and just started eating it. The guy manning the fridge goes 'Hey buddy, that's 2 dollars for the popsicle but of course the kid either didn't hear or didn't have the capacity to understand and walked away. The kid's parents were no where in sight. A man standing nearby and witnessing this goes up to the guy manning the fridge and hands him 2 dollars saying 'Here you go' and paid for the popsicle."
I guess there isn't some grander meaning behind this story and there isn't anything dramatic about it. Yet it touched me because people really do perform random acts of kindness. And if there's anything we need in this world, it's that :)
