Me and Valerie had finished collecting the rocks for the men.
We ran over to them excitedly, handing over the rocks to them in their hands.
"Here are your rocks!" Valerie screeched.
"Thanks girls!" the old man grinned.
"Here is your money, as promised," the young man said, smiling.
He folded some coins into our hands.
"Thank you!" we replied gratefully.
"Anyway, we best be leaving," the young man said. "We'll see you around."
We waved at them, as we watched them walk away.
"I'm so excited to show this money to my mama!" Valerie said ecstatically. "She'll be so happy!"
"I know, what a nice man!" I giggled, feeling my cheeks flush pink.
Nobody had shown people like us such kindness before.
