I just read this story and with all of the craziness going on in the world - this story took me away from it for a moment.
A Grandfather was talking to his grandson about his upcoming Prom night. The Grandfather suggested that perhaps the restaurant he had chosen was a bit expensive. The grandson replied, that no, he was working hard, knew the expense and was planning for it.
The Grandfather chuckled, because his grandson sounded like him at that age.
The prom night arrived and the grandson and his date and two other couples went to the expensive restaurant. They ordered, ate their dinner and when the check arrived the grandson collected from his buddies and paid the bill which was well over $200.
In a few moments the waiter returned with all of their money and handed it back to them.
The stunned kids sat there as the waiter explained that an older couple at another table had seen them and watched them have fun. They had paid their entire tab.
The older couple remembered that on their own prom date years ago, another couple had paid their tab for them as a surprise. They had always wanted to do the same for young kids now that they were older and when they saw the three couples decided to do it for them.
How many of us would be that generous or remember the kind gesture from years ago?

.. It reminds me one time when i went to crackel barrel, it was only me, my little brother and my mom at the time, and we were getting ready to leave and an old man came to our table with a bag for each of us, he gave me and my little brother toys he bought from the store, and his wife was just grinning at the sight of her generous husband.
