Huffy Money

Sometimes I fly signs, but not always to make money.  Occasional I'll fly them just to see the different reactions I can elicit from people just like you.  
    On this particular day, my sign only had one word on it.  I flew if for about 4 hours (no money) when a snazzy car pulled into the parking lot there on my corner.
    A tall, statuesque beauty stepped out of the car and was followed by 2 adorable little girls.  The two were hopping around begging mom for some money to give to me.  All mom said to them was hush , no and stand still.  However, they continued to pester their mom.  In a huff, she stood up screamed fine!  She then walked toward me and extended her hand and haughtily said “there!”  She gave me a crumpled dollar and stomped off.
    The two little angels were dismayed and pouted because mom had ruined what so far
was going to be the highlight of their day.  The word on the sign...  Compassion.   I gave that only dollar I made on that sign to someone I knew who was begging for change. I couldn't keep the dollar it wasn't given to me in the context it was asked for.

P.S. Lady, you should have given them the dollar.
