"An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves."
- Lydia M. Child
During my recent trip abroad, one of my traveling companions and I discovered a wonderful bakery close to our hotel. We quickly got into the habit of visiting it in the evenings and trying a couple of the delicious offerings each time. Although we did not speak the language, there was a young woman working at the shop who spoke some English, so we would ask her about the breads and pastries as we made our selections.
One night as we were walking back to the hotel with our purchases, the young woman came running after us. She wanted to tell us that if you bought five items, you were supposed to get an additional item free and she invited us back to the store to select our complimentary treat. We followed her back to the shop for one more delicacy in amazement that this young woman would make such an effort.
