He went to bed that night with a smile. The next morning him and his mom were going to the bank to put the money in savings for his truck. He fell asleep and dreamed.
The next morning Damien was up before everyone else. He was pretty excited to go to the bank, but he had to wait till it opened. He went outside and got the paper. He decided to read it for a while as he waited. He Started reading the local section, and there was a story about a family that was so poor they couldn't afford to buy shoes for the kids. He felt pretty bad, cause he had always had nice shoes to wear. Just then, his mom got up and came in the room. She asked him why he was sad, and he showed her the paper. He asked if she could find out where they lived. His mom looked at the name, and looked in the phone book. The people lived just across town. He asked if he could stop there on the way to the bank. she said yes. Damiens smile came back.
