Last week on my walk a little boy fell in front of my house.

United States
September 3, 2017 3:40pm CST
He fell off his scooter, and asked for a bandaid, I placed the bandage on his wound asked if he was alright. He asked me for a dollar, he told me he lost his money when he went to buy juice he didn't have his dollar.. I gave him the dollar, as it was hot out, I didn't think to offer him one of my juices, or some water.. I watched him go to the store get his juice and back and he said thanks lady. A week has passed, I never saw the kid again, or thought much about him and he he comes from the store on his scooter. I am walking the dog he calls out to me lady... lady... Comes up to me and takes out money from his pocket and says here is your dollar. Thank you.. I guess I looked surprised because he says don't you remember you let me borrow for my juice...

He lives several blocks away, he uses the scooter to go to the corner store., i would say he is around 9, he is young. , riding the scooter, and crossing the traffic here.

That is amazing. What a special little boy. His parents taught him right. I would be happy to loan a boy like this money again. Good for him and wonderful story.

I felt bad he was hurt that day on the scooter, a kid has't really asked me for money before, but I did believe he lost his money in his travels.

@CookieMonster46 It is easy to fall out of your pocket and you did see him coming back from the store. I am so glad you helped him.
