In the era of affordable treats, a mischievous 8-year-old boy strolled into a candy store, eyeing the colorful display of candies. A sweet-toothed adventure awaited him.
Curious, he asked the candy store owner, “How much is a bag of assorted candies?”
“75 cents,” replied the owner.
The boy, with a mischievous grin, reached into his pocket, carefully examining a handful of coins.
In a rush, he inquired, “And how much for just one candy?”
Slightly irritated, the owner responded, “25 cents, kid.”
The little boy, with a sly smile, counted his coins again and declared, “I’ll take one candy, please.”
The owner handed over the candy, placed the bill on the counter, and turned away. The boy relished the candy, paid the exact amount, and skipped out of the store.
As the owner returned to tidy up, he noticed something surprising. Next to the empty candy wrapper, neatly arranged, were 50 cents – the boy’s mischievous way of leaving a ‘sweet’ tip.
