While eating lunch with my 4-year-old daughter this afternoon at a fast food restaurant, I noticed an old man walking to the table with a stick. The manager kindly carried the food for him. During the meal I
36 the man tell a woman it was his
37 . So I
38 what I heard to my daughter. She loves it when people have birthdays. I told her it was OK for her to wish him a happy birthday. He
39 was spending this special day alone.
At first she was
40 and decided against it. As I was
41 our plates into the dustbin she turned to him and quietly
42 him a Happy Birthday. I could tell he was
43 by the way he looked at her. I
44 behind her and gave him my own wishes. He was grateful.
45 we walked away he called my daughter back and
46 her a brand-new gold $1 coin. She thanked him. But that
wasn't enough for him. He
47 his pocket and at that I kindly told him that wasn't
48 . He ignored me and
49 out an envelope with about a dozen of a different kind of gold coins. He continued to give her another one and tell her how
50 it was and that one day it would be worth
51 . He then
52 me in the eye and wished me a good day.
What a kind man. I'm sure my daughter
53 his day. On such a special day,
54 can I take away his glory and
55 his offering of thanks?
Happy Birthday!
