In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy
entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of
water in front of him.
“How much is an ice cream sundae?”
“50 cents,” replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of
coins in it.
“How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he inquired. Some people were now
waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.
“35 cents,” she said brusquely.
The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,”
he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked
away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and departed.
When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then
swallowed hard at what she saw.
There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 15 cents – her tip.
在那个冰淇淋圣代还没这么贵的年代，有个10岁的小男孩走进一家饭店里的咖啡馆，坐了
下来。有位女服务生上前来为他倒一杯水。
男孩问，一杯冰淇淋圣代要多少钱？
50毛，女服务生回答。
小男孩将手伸进他的口袋里，细数着口袋里的铜板。
他又问，一碟原味冰淇淋要多少钱？这时候已经有其他客人在外面排队等著，女服务生开
始有点不耐烦。
35毛。她脱口回答。
小男孩再次数着他的铜板，说：我要原味冰淇淋。
女服务生端来了冰淇淋，将帐单放在桌上，就走了。小男孩吃完了冰淇淋，到柜台付完帐
，也走了。
当女服务生再回来擦拭收拾桌子的时候，眼前所看到的让她惊讶结舌。
桌上，就在空碟子旁边，整齐地摆放著15毛钱－给她的小费。
