Why We All Smiled!
(Copyrighted)
One day in a bank in another town
we saw a little boy on his knees beside
a chair. We wondered what he could be
doing there.
That boy was starting a Savings ac
count and he was too small to use the
desk to write his name for the bank's re
cords. He had to stand on his toes to hand
the card through the window.
Every body in the bank was watch
ing the lad.
When he was thru he tucked his little
bank book into his inside pocket and
started home with his grandmother. At
the door he stopped to give one more look
at the bank HIS bank.
Every one smiled. It's fine to see a
little boy starting to win success.
