Sticker Kindness

When I was younger, I used to play soccer with a couple of friends at the park. We decided that I should be the coach. So, one day, I was in a sporting store when I saw some soccer stickers. They were a cheap 6 pack, and I thought I could use them while I was 'coaching'. My mom wouldn't let me get them, so I walked out of the store disappointed. When in the process of leaving, I stopped to throw something away while my mom was ahead of me, and the man who had been standing in line behind us ran up to me and gave me the stickers and walked away without even saying anything. I have always remembered that kind act, and when I was older and in a store I decided to be that man, for a little girl who wanted some Minnie Mouse hair ties. I did the same thing as that man did that one day, long ago.
