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?
