Not long ago while in a Salvation Army store, a man was trying on boots as I was also. He had the appearance of a homeless person, but I don't know that for sure. He had found a good pair of warm boots and was so excited that they fit. They were marked $9 but he only had $4. He tried to talk them into lowering the price, but the cashier said she wasn't allowed to. He sadly brought them back and put them on the shelf. Putting back on his raggedy sneakers he laughed and said, boy I thought I was gonna have me some warm feet this winter. I gave him the rest of the money he needed to buy those boots, telling him I thought warm feet this winter was a really good idea. He thanked me over and over and left with those boots on his feet, a happy man. I didn't get to buy the boots I found, but that's ok, because I can always find another pair. Plus, my old ones still keep my feet warm. They are old, but they still work!
