Pay it forward and just be good to others – it’s that simple!
Life as we all know it is not always filled with happiness and victories. Oftentimes, there are defeats and struggles here and there, that’s simply how life is designed. Remember when they say to always be good to others because they have battles you know nothing about? That is absolutely true!
Instead, why don’t we just spread goodness and positivity among each other and make this world a better place? Just like what this group of kindhearted fellas did.
They decided not just to bless this elderly delivery guy named Bob but also made him realize that kindness is just around a corner.
Let’s play a game, shall we?
The girls arrange red cups in a circle on the kitchen counter. Under those cups are dollar bills in varying denominations. The doorbell rings and the two girls run excitedly to greet the pizza delivery guy. Then again, who doesn’t run when there’s pizza?
They greet the man with their pizza with so much enthusiasm, smiling at him before asking him to come inside for a while. Bob looks confused but he follows them into the kitchen while they tell him how hungry they are.
“Bob we want to pay you in a fun way. We just wanna’ make your day.”
Says one of the girls.
They show him 12 cups on the kitchen counter and one woman tells him that he can pick 6 cups in total – all of his choice of course. They then tell Bob whatever is underneath the cups that he’d choose are going to be his.
Still puzzled, Bob couldn’t help but show his excitement, though he’s trying very hard not to show it.
Keeping your calm and composure isn’t easy, especially in this kind of game.
Bob reaches for his first cup, hesitates, then opens it. That’s a twenty dollar bill! His face is priceless. The guy holding the camera is as excited as the girls who just told Bob to keep the twenty.
The next cup he grabs had a dollar but hey, where else can you get a dollar for free. What a game!
The third cup seemed to warm Bob’s spirits and he’s now getting into the game. Those girls have a ton of energy too so it’s probably contagious. Does anybody have red cups?
Bob shares his story, he tells them that he’s been working for 11 years but that’s the first time someone has done this to him.
He goes for the fourth cup and another bill is added to his collection. You can see Bob still trying to maintain his professional courtesy and yet doing his best to have fun with his new friends.
The guy holding the camera informs Bob that under one of those cups is a lot of money. He doesn’t say how much, but that it’s a lot. It’s like one of those bonus rounds in game shows.
He picks another cup, lifts it, and surprise!
He finally hits the jackpot! It’s a hundred dollar bill for lucky Bob! He couldn’t believe his eyes, he must’ve never thought about this happening to him that day.
Bob starts palming the money he won, even asking them if they’ll really let him keep all of it. One of the girls say yes and that he can walk out the door with all the money he uncovered. Then it gets emotional.
“All yours. We just wanted to make your day.”
She assures him.
Bob folds the money and as he raises his hand to say goodbye, he betrays his professional demeanor breaking down with tears as he walks out of the kitchen. You deserve it, man!
But hey, if you think that’s the end of it, you’re terribly mistaken!
They hug Bob at the door, his once cool exterior now an emotional man who is just trying to make ends meet like everyone else.
He was about to exit the door when one of the girls tells him to “hang on one second”, running to the kitchen as she called on all of them to follow her. Bob included. So back into the kitchen they go.
Those 6 cups left that were unopened? Well, she starts uncovering them one by one giving the remaining dollar bills to the man who cannot believe what is happening.
He gets another dollar, a twenty, another two dollars, a fifty, and a ten!
Bob is overcome with emotion, thanking them with tears of joy. He walks out the door but not before getting hugs from the three people who just made his day, and his life a whole lot better through their generosity.
This is such a beautiful story about a random act of kindness, giving back, and paying it forward. We need more of this right now, more love and kindness, especially during these difficult times. So if you have the ability to help, go ahead and help, it shouldn’t cost you that much.
Get your tissues ready and watch the video below to see how they made Bob’s delivery experience a whole lot beautiful!
