Third Important Lesson--Always remember those who serve

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop & sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ince cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket & studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table & the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table & walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier & left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish were two nickels & five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
