The secret of happiness An old man walked slowly with a cane into the restaurant .His old jacket, worn-out shoes and warm personality made him stand out from the usual crowd. A young waitress watched him move toward a table by the window. She ran over to him, and said: "Here, sir......let me help you with that chair." Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table and helped him sit. Then she put his came against the table. "Thank you, miss."he said, kindly. "You're welcome, sir."she said. After he had finished his breakfast, the waitress brought him the change from his bill. He left it on the table. She helped him up and walked with him to the front door. When she went to clean his table, she found a business card under his plate and note on a napkin . Under the napkin was a 100-dollar bill. The note on the napkin read: "Dear miss, I respect you very much and I can see you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. (3) _ ." The man she had _ was the owner of the restaurant where she worked. This was the first time that she or any of the other workers had ever seen him in person.
