The old man shuffled slowly into the restaurant.With head tilted, and shoulders bent forward, he leaned on his trustycane with each unhurried step.
His tattered cloth jacket, patched trousers, worn-out shoes, and warmpersonality made him stand out from the usual Saturday morningbreakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkledlike diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a tight, steadysmile.
He stopped, turned with his whole body, and winked at a little girlseated by the door. She flashed a big grin right back at him. A youngwaitress named Mary watched him shuffle toward a table by the window.
Mary ran over to him, and said, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.”
Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded a thank-you. She pulled thechair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm, she helped himmove in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then shescooted the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against thetable where he could reach it.
In a soft, clea voice he said, “Thank you, Miss. And bless you for your kind gestures.”
“You’re welcome, Sir.” She replied. “And my name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment, and if you need anything at all in the mean time, just wave at me!”
Holding the door open for him, she said., “Come back and see us, Sir!”
He turned with his whole body, winked a smile, and noddd a thank-you. “You are very kind.” He said softly.
When Mary went to clean his table, she almost fainted. Under his plateshe found a business card, and a note scribbled on a napkin. Under thenapkin was a one-handred-dollar bill.
The note on the napkin read…
“Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself too. Itshows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret ofhappiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”
The man she had waited on was the owner of the restaurant where sheworked. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees hadever seen him in person.
