Every Teacher Should Be a Great Storyteller Here's one for you.

A Random Act of Kindness

A second year university student had reluctantly taken a part
time job selling door to door to make ends meet. He didn't
like the job but the pay was good and he certainly needed the
money.

One afternoon while selling in a nice middle class
neighborhood he decided to forget his pride and ask the person
in the next house if they could spare a bite to eat.

When the door opened he quickly decided against it and just
asked for a glass of water.

The woman of the house smiled and disappeared into the kitchen
returning within seconds with a plate of freshly made
chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk.

When the young man asked what he owed her for the wonderful
snack she said, " We don't charge for kindness in this house."

Years later this same woman became very ill and had to be
taken to the hospital for treatment. When the specialist
entered the Emergency room to examine her he recognized
her immediately. She was the milk and cookies lady from his
days as a salesman.

The treatment he prescribed was effective and within a couple
of days she was ready to return home. Her only worry now was
how she was going to pay the hospital bill.

Before leaving she went to the Billing office to find out the
damage and discuss payment options. When she got there she
was handed a note and told that the bill had been paid in full
with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies.

When she opened the note it read, " I don't charge for
kindness." It was signed A Hungry College Student from your
past.
