King of Pops Grace<\/strong><\/p>\n

The little girl has her popsicle.<\/p>\n

Strawberry lemonade.<\/p>\n

She won’t share.<\/p>\n

Can’t I have a taste?<\/em>, Mommy whines;<\/p>\n

her wallet is now empty.<\/p>\n

A young man is selling hot dogs.<\/p>\n

They’ve never met, but he has noticed:<\/p>\n

Hey, go and tell Brianna that this King of Pops is on me<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He puts out his hand.<\/p>\n

My name is James<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She feels a bit surprised-<\/p>\n

then undeserving and suspicious.<\/p>\n

Is anything in this world ever free?<\/em><\/p>\n

But a frozen piece of pumpkin pie has her name on it,<\/p>\n

and now it’s for the taking.<\/p>\n

Mouth-watering goodness.<\/p>\n

She comes back to show him.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much, James!,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

is her exclamation of gratitude,<\/p>\n

and next week she’ll be back.<\/p>\n

She may even buy a hot dog.<\/p>\n

Grace is irresistible like that.<\/p>\n
