A Tip Of $10,000
A poor, young waiter was working when a wealthy old man came into the restaurant.
The waiter spent a lot of effort to recommend the best food and drink the restaurant had to offer hoping this would earn him a big tip.
But in the end, the rich man ordered only a sandwich and lemonade.
Knowing that a small bill meant a small tip,The waiter walked away somewhat disappointed.
After finishing his food, the rich man asked for the check.
When the young waiter came, the rich man noticed there was sadness in his eyes.
He asked, “Is everything okay, son? Are you having a hard day?”
“I’m having a hard life, Sir” the waiter replied.
Then the waiter continued his job, not thinking of anything.
When he returned to the table of the rich man and found a tip of $10,000.
The waiter ran to catch the wealthy man,
Just as he was getting into his car, he asked, “Why did you do this?”
The old man replied, when I was your age, I struggled in restaurants like these,
A wealthy man once gave me such a tip that it paid for my college tuition.
I hope that this money will help you as it had helped me”
The young man was speechless and in tears. “Sir, you’ve just paid for my mother’s cancer treatment.”
“Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have”.
