Every Kid Deserves To Be Happy
I work at a summer camp with several local kids and one day we took a field trip to the zoo. As we were getting ready to leave a boy from a troubled family went through the gift shop and wanted a souvenir stuffed monkey.
He had 5 quarters which was not nearly enough for this monkey (which for the record was incredibly overpriced anyway). He went to the checkout and the lady was unable to sell him the monkey for the mere $1.25.
The boy, broken hearted walked out and boarded the bus. I felt the need to buy the monkey for him so I did, and I gave it to his mom to give to him when she picked him up.
The boy and his mom are not very close for unknown reasons but I felt this token from her could help their relationship.
The boy was ecstatic when he was presented the monkey. It’s things like that why I work at the camp. Every kid deserves to be happy.
