'Sing a sad song in a lonely place...

In the depths of the net I found this..

I was sitting in a hotel coffee shop the other day, when this 10 year old homeless lookin kid came in and sat at a table. The waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty pence," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and 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 and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five pence," 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 and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, was a tip of 10p and five pennies.
