When I was 6 , used to believe that nothing had a price. I thought money equaled money and it didnt matter how much you gave. (at least thats what i was taught in church). So when I took a Taxi home one day from school, I paid the man a nickel from my little coin purse, thanked him for the ride and went about my business. The man waved as if I did the right thing and drove away. Never did it cross my mind that the man was being generous and thought of my actions a cute specticle.
