Bubble Gum Quarter


--by pebbles, posted May 18, 2007
I was at the mall yesterday when I walked by a bubble gum display.  It had all different kinds of bubble gum that you could buy for 25 cents a piece. 

A little two year old girl was asking her mom for some gum and her mom didn't have any change. 

Now, I just happened to have taken out 2 quarters to buy my husband and I each a piece of gum.  He didn't want one so as I started to put the quarter away I saw the little girl and gave her the quarter. 

The smile on her face could have lite the whole city of New York!
