There was once a pizza delivery man named Adam.
Every shift, he would take the orders that he knew would gain him the highest tips.
One day, while making deliveries, Adam was asked to take a pizza to an address he had never been to.
When he arrived, Adam was disappointed. It was a small house with a tattered yard.
Adam knew he wouldn’t make a good tip at this house.
He knocked on the door and, when a man answered, he gave the man his small cheese pizza.
Just as Adam had expected, the man gave him only one dollar as a tip.
“I’m so sorry, this dollar is all I have,” said the man.
Adam was frustrated that he had driven so far out of his way for such a small tip, but what happened next surprised him.
The man turned around and called his children to the door.
“Hey, kids,” said the man,
“Do any of you have anything we can give to this nice man for bringing us our pizza?”
One by one, the man’s five children stepped forward and emptied their pockets.
The man handed Adam the change he had collected from his children.
Adam was overwhelmed by the generosity of this family.
