Brighten Your Day

One time when I was a kid, I was at a Fun Land.

I saw a claw machine that had two black cat beanie babies. I've always loved black cats and so I tried to get them, but I couldn't get them. I was spending all my money trying to get the kitties but just couldn't do it.

One of the women who worked there approached me and asked me what I was trying to get. I told her and to my complete shock and awe, I watched her unlock the claw machine and pull out the two black cats for me. I was so incredibly happy. She asked me if I wanted anything else, but I politely declined, saying I just wanted those two cats. She handed them to me and I thanked her repeatedly.

It was such a simple act of kindness that I still remember all these years later. I'm almost 23 now, and I believe I was 5 or 6 at the time.
