Boy 'breaks the bank' to gift his favourite petrol attendant a bicycle
Kindness goes a long way - just ask this young Durban lad. His act of giving will be etched in the heart of a petrol attendant for years to come.
Mandy Moo posted on her Facebook page about her ten-year-old son Vaughn's act of kindness.
She states that about two months ago, they met a wonderful man named Tony at a petrol station in Gillitts. It was on this day that her son wasn't feeling well and Tony immediately brought a smile to Vaughn's face. Since then, trips to the garage were much more interesting as Vaughn looked forward to chatting to his new friend.
Both Tony and Vaughn spoke extensively about the different bikes on the market and what interests they shared. Tony mentioned that he was looking for a reasonably priced bike, Vaughn promised he would find him one.
Vaughn had been saving all the silver coins he could find for a holiday with his parents, and when he asked if he could crack open the piggy to use his savings to get Tony a bike, Mandy was touched by the gesture.
She wrote: "Our children make us proud on so many occasions but today my heart and his is so full of the joy at the kind man's face as he, rather stunned accepted his gift from this 10-year old boy."
The act of kindness didn't stop there. A South African Retailer jumped on board and even gave Tony a shopping voucher. Amazing!
