Consideration

One day, a ten-year-old boy went to an ice­ cream shop, sat at a

table and asked the waitress, “How much is an ice-cream cone?”

 She said, “seventy-five cents.” The boy started counting the coins he had in his

hand. Then he asked how much a small cup of ice-cream was. The waitress

impatiently replied, “sixty­ five cents.” 

The boy said, “I will have the small ice-cream cup.” He had his ice-cream, paid the bill and left. When

the waitress came to pick up the empty plate, she was touched.

Underneath were ten one-cent coins as tip. The little boy had

consideration for the waitress before he ordered his ice-cream. He

showed sensitivity and caring. He thought of others before himself.
