she made a difference in her own way

A fellow jeepney passenger on my way home asked her kindergarten daughter to get their fare from her purse. She got 6 1-peso coins from it and passed it on to a fellow passenger. The daughter thanked the fellow passenger who got her coins and passed it on to the driver.

Everyday scene at a public utility vehicle. Yet, get this; (1) the child correctly counted and got the exact fare, she didn't cheat; (2) she didn't forget to say thank you even when it was like the fellow passenger didn't appreciate her words; and (3) she was behave in the jeepney.

Simple things yet meant big for a world full of chaos and where politeness is given little importance.
