The tip💰

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 studieda number of coins in it. “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he inquired. Some peoplewere now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient. “35 cents,” she said brusquely. Thelittle 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 finishedthe 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. 在圣代冰激凌价格更低的年代，一个10岁的男孩走进一家酒店的咖啡厅，坐在一张桌子旁。一名女服务员把一杯水放在他面前。“一个圣代冰激凌多少钱？”“50美分。”女服务员回答。小男孩把手从口袋里抽出来，研究着口袋里的一些硬币。 “一份普通的冰激凌多少钱？”他询问道。现在有些人在等桌子，女服务员有些不耐烦。“35美分。”她粗暴地说道。小男孩又数了数硬币。“我要普通的冰激凌。”他说。女服务员端来了冰激凌，把账单放在桌子上，然后走了。小男孩吃完冰激凌，向收银员付了钱，离开了。 当女服务员回来，她开始擦桌子，然后因为她看到的东西狠劲儿咽了一下口水。那里，在空盘子旁边整齐地放着15美分——她的小费。
