Big Feet – Bigger Heart (Adapted from Chicken Soup for the Soul) by Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen It was a very hot day. Everybody was looking for some kind of relief, so an ice cream store was a natural place to stop. A little girl, holding her money tightly, entered the store. But before she could buy the ice cream, the store clerk told her to go outside and read the sign on the door. “Stay out until you put on some shoes,” he said. The little girl went out slowly, and a big man followed her out of the store. He watched as the little girl stood in front of the store and read the sign: “No Bare Feet.” Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she walked away from the store. Just then the big man called her. He was sitting on a bench while he took off his size-12 shoes and put them in front of the girl. “Here,” he said, “You won’t be able to walk in these but if you can slide along, you can get your ice cream.” Then he lifted the girl up and set her feet into the shoes. “Take your time,” he said. “I get tired of moving them around and it will feel good to just sit here and eat my ice cream.” The girl’s eyes lit up. She immediately went to the counter and ordered her ice cream. He was a big man, all right. Big belly, big shoes, but most of all, he had a big heart. All rights reserved.

The other sons also tried, but no one of them was successful. “Untie the sticks,” said the father, “and each of you take a stick.” When they had done so, he called out to them: “Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken. “Do you see what I mean?” asked their father.
