at a shop. He stopped and looked back. His sister was standing in
front of a toy shop and was watching something with a great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked: "Do you want something?"

A servant in that shop got very surprised watching all these.
He asked his master: " Sir, You gave away such a costly doll
just for 4 shells???"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Well, for us these are only shells.
But for that boy, these shells are very precious. And in this age,
he does not understand what money is, but when he will grow up,
he definitely will. And when he would remember that he purchased a
doll with the Shells instead of Money, he will remember Me and think
that the world is full of Good people. He will develop positive thinking.
That's it..."
