A dish of ice cream
A dish of ice cream In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.âHow much is an ice cream sundae?ââ50 cents,â replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.âHow much is a dish of plain ice cream?â he inquired. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.â35 cents,â she said brusquely.The little boy again counted the coins. âIâll have the plain ice cream,â 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 departed.When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what she saw.There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 15 cents â" her tip.Author UnknownMoral: dont judge the book by its cover!
