“Open your wallet, open your heart”

100 word short story

A cute Cambodian business-oriented girl with prominent selling techniques and fluent English interrupted our dinner for good. We had a deal: if she won an arm wrestling competition with Adam, we would buy a two dollar bracelet. Adam played along. We opened our wallet for a bracelet and then she opened her heart and shared us one of four crunchy donuts she bought for the money we gave her. One dollar spent. One dollar profit. She stayed longer with us for more enthusiastic competitions. Kids remain kids. Open-hearted youngsters with a will to play. Cambodia is not an exception.
