12 Cents

The other morning I woke up early to finish some homework.
I still had to print out an assignment and just write the answers onto the paper copy.
I don't own a printer and so had to walk to campus in order to print it out.
I got to campus about 15 minutes early and went to print out my assignment.
When I got to the printer I realized that I only had 11 cents on my card.
I needed 12.

This meant that I was unable to print out the assignment that I had worked so hard to complete.
I knew that I could go to the library and put more money on my card.
However, I wasn't sure I would be able to make it back to class in time.
Luckily for me, a guy in my class noticed that I was leaving and asked where I was going.
I answered him, telling him my dilemma.

He then told me that he had 12 cents and that I could use his card.
I attempted to politely decline.
But he insisted.
Because of him I was able to finish my assignment and make it to class on time.

Go out and make the world a little better.
