Always Remember And Reward Those Who Serve
An ordinary looking 10 year old boy entered the ice-cream parlour and sat at a table. A waiter served a glass of water and asked him for the order. “How much is a vanilla ice cream cost?”, he asked. “Rupees Fifty” replied the waiter.
The little boy pulled out money from his pocket, counted his money and asked, “Well, how much would the cup cost?”
People on the nearby tables were staring at the boy and the waiter was becoming impatient. “Rupees forty” he brusquely replied. “I’ll have an ice cream cup.” The boy confirmed the order.
The waiter brought the ice-cream and put the bill on the table. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.
When the waiter came back to clear the table, he could not stop his tears. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were rupees ten left for the tip.You see, he couldn’t have the Ice-cream cone, because he had to have enough left to leave him a tip.
