A heart warming story that needs to be shared!!
“In the Houston airport on my way back from Las Vegas
there was a 4-year old boy with his mom, dad and three-year-old
sister. The little boy somehow cut his three fingers badly on the
sharp edge of an aluminum or steel garbage/cigarette can. The
airport first-aid rushed to his aid and cleaned and bandaged his
wounds amids much wailing and gnashing of teeth. While waiting for
their plane to depart the little boy cried in pain while being
rocked in the arms of his monther. After about 10 minutes I
remembered that I had the Applixware Penguin in my bag. I went over
to the family and offered it to the dad for his little boy who
instantly grabbed it from by hand, ceased crying and positively lit
up like a bright light, smiling from ear to ear.”“He forgot all about his wounds and became preoccupied with his
new friend, naming him “Antartica”. Your little Applix penguin made
him a very happy little boy, and his parents and other passengers
eternally thankful :-).”Way to go. Thought you might enjoy knowing how your little
penguin made someone’s day.Regards,
