The Quarter (Children)

One day I found a quarter. It was right there on the floor. I put it in my pocket just in case I found some more. My Daddy took me with him and I took my quarter, too. We went to do some errands then we were going to the zoo. I could buy my Daddy something, something special for the yard. Or maybe somethin' fun to do cause he works very hard. We walked down to the corner and we saw a blind man there. He was sitting in a wagon with a rag tied in his hair. His clothes were kind of ratty and his face was sort of sad, but he said hello to everyone just like he's really glad. I looked up at Daddy. He saw the blind man, too. I put my quarter in his cup and the blind man said, 'Bless You! ' I'm glad my Daddy wasn't mad I gave away my money. He said he was real proud of me. Boy, grownups sure are funny.
