First Time Fishing For 10 Year Old

I have a little 10 year friend that has become like a niece to me. I've known her since she was 4. We do crafts, go places. She has never been fishing. I've been wanting to get her a license, pole, everything for at least a year. It just never happened. Yesterday we went to the park and were bored. I said come on, let's go to Wal-Mart and check out fishing stuff. My credit card showed $55. It was $5 for a year license for her, pole, etc...$23. I couldn't afford my own license ($37), I just got her one. I know somewhere in the conversation I mentioned she has never been fishing and I am going to make it happen. Well, for some reason my card got declined. I said ok, let's just do the $5 license. It still declined. I had $6 on my debit (in car) we go get it and go back. It was a different cashier (but she had been there for it all) I said ok, we're back. I said I have $6 on here for the license. She pointed at the pole and other stuff and said these items? I said no, I can't get it now, just the license. She said "I would like to buy all of this for her". My jaw dropped. I said what? Really? I said oh my gosh, thank you so much. I said to Angelique, "do you realize what she's doing"? She said oh my gosh, thank you so much. We were in shock and happy. We both hugged her. I looked at her name and she's a department manager. I'll make her a Christmas ornament. We went south of Tucson to a lake. It at Rancho Sauharita. It's a huge housing community. My friend live next to it.We got there and there was a wedding. We watched it and I put the pole together. Then we went fishing, we couldn't get it out there. An older couple walking around lake helped us. Second act of kindness. Angelique casted it out like a pro after that. We didn't catch anything, but it was fun. We get to the car and the battery was dead. I was like oh my gosh. I have road side assistant. We had to wait 45 minutes. I called my friend that lives there, she was out eating. Later, she said she called to see ho
