Fiction, Short Story
While on their way to a concert, a group of people are given too much change back from their bus ride. The men in the group figure it doesn't matter, but one woman worries about the poor man, Joe, who gave them the wrong change. Joe realizes he is short half a dollar and begins to worry about his sick child and wife. He starts to cry, but just then the woman returns with the extra money he gave away. Joe is grateful to this woman, and she is happy knowing that she did some good.
