I'm not telling this because I want a pat on the back. I'm only telling it because of what transpired. Maybe it will give others some ideas.
Today I'm coming home from golfing around 1:30 on a seldom traveled county road. The temperature was close to 90 with very high humidity. As I rounded a slight curve in the road I see a little girl standing beside the road waving her arms. My immediate thought was something is wrong so I slowed down. As I was coming to a stop, I saw a table and some pitchers and plastic cups. I then knew she was trying to sell water or lemonade. I did that a few times when I was a kid. I was immediately impressed. Most kids would be indoors playing on their cell phone or computer in this weather. But there she was, maybe 10 to 12 years of age, out in this heat trying to make a couple dollars. I rolled to a stop and she asked if I would like to buy some water or lemonade. I asked how much and she said the water was a dollar and the lemonade was two dollars. I said give me a lemonade. She handed me a glass and I handed her a 20 dollar bill and told her to keep the change. Her eyes got real big and she said, "FOR REAL?" I said," Yes, for real." She said "REALLY?" I said, "Yup." Her eyes got even bigger and a big smile came across her face. She then asked my name and I told her and then I asked her name and she told me and then she said," It's nice to meet you." I told her it was nice to meet her. I told her to have a nice day and as I drove off she started running towards her house screaming at the top of her lungs, "MOM, MOM, LOOK WHAT I GOT. MOM LOOK WHAT I GOT."
The lemonade was weak and it was warm, but it is the best lemonade I have ever had and it was the best $20 dollars I have spent in a long time!!
, Don't see many anymore.
