Once upon a time, 7-year old boy's mom gave him few cents to buy some ice cream. Very happy, he entered an ice cream shop located close to his home. He was feeling extremely proud as this was the first time he was ordering ice cream all by himself.
An already stressed out waitress came to take his order. He asked the price for the big ice cream cup. The lady said 75-cents. He started counting all his 1-cent coins. This irritated her and she became more impatient. After counting all the coins he asked the price for the small cup - she replied - 65 cents. After a pause he said, 'I'll take the small one.'
Be considerate to others - just like the 7-year old boy.

He enjoyed his treat - paid the bill and left. The waitress went to the table, and saw 10 cents hidden under the cup - he put these as tip for her. This brought a smile on her face and she realized how insensitive she was when the boy was ordering his ice cream.
