Question: helped a little girl.
 Big Feet – Bigger Heart
Adapted from Chicken Soup for the Soul
by Jack Canfield and Mark Hansel

It was a very hot day.

Everybody was looking
for some kind of relief, so
an ice cream store was a
natural place to stop.
 A little girl, holding her
money tightly, entered the
store. But before she could buy
the ice cream, the store clerk
told her to go outside and read
the sign on the door. “Stay out
until you put on some shoes.,”
she said.

The little girl went out slowly,

and a big man followed her out
of the store. He watched as the
little girl stood in front of the
store and read the sign: “No
Bare Feet.” Tears started rolling No Bare Feet
down her cheeks as she walked
away from the store
 Just then the big man called
her. He was sitting on a bench
while he took off his size-12
shoes and put them in front of
the girl. “Here,” he said, “You
won’t be able to walk in these
but if you can slide along, you
can get your ice cream.”

Then he lifted the girl up and set her feet into the
shoes. “Take your time,” he said. “I get tired of
moving them around and it will feel good to just sit
here and eat my ice cream.” the girl’s eyes lit up. She
immediately went to the counter and ordered her ice
cream.
He was a big man, all right. Big belly, big shoes,
but most of all, he had a big heart.
