Opening Up: Non-Fiction Stories about Give and Take, Volume 1

Chapter 1 - by J.Mills

One Saturday afternoon me and my dad were at our restaurant working. Our restaurant name is Jim's Famous Donair. We sell donairs, burgers, sub, fries and etc. We had one customer come in and ask for a regular donair.  We took his order and he sat down. As my dad starting cooking  up the food it starting coming together slowly.  A couple minutes later we were finished. We called him up to come pay for the food, I punched the price into the cashier and told him the price, which was $6.75.  He answered in a low voice that he had no money so me and my dad gave him the donair for free.  He seemed really hungry and wanted food, so me and my dad gave him the food for free and we gave him a pop can for free. He said thank you, sat down and starting eating the regular donair. When he finished his food he thanked us one more time and walked out the door in joy. (: I felt good about my self for helping out a hungry man looking for food. We see the man a couple of times around our restaurant. Every time he walks past our restaurant he always says thank you and goes on with his life. He puts out good words about our restaurant, and from them we always had more customers come in and out.
