"Well, if you do the right thing, good things will happen to you," he says, as if this is an obvious truth he sees every day.

It is a very nice story. Sometimes we need to take a chance and give a little of ourselves to offer a lifeline to those with whom we might not normally associate. I've seen this do wonders in my own family.

Great find Mike. That he turned out as he did is a testament to the kid's character.
