At Oak Brooke’s International Airport, Peter sat with his 15-year-old son, Arnold, waiting for their flight. Peter, once a pilot, had transitioned to entrepreneurship after years of struggle, and his family now enjoyed a more comfortable life. Arnold, however, seemed disconnected, glued to his phone.While walking through the terminal, Arnold humiliated a janitor, Alice, after tripping on her mop bucket. Alice, an older woman, didn’t respond to his harsh words, but Peter,

who overheard the incident, was horrified by his son’s behavior. When he confronted Arnold, Alice unexpectedly recognized Peter. She revealed she had once found Peter’s lost bag, containing $4,800, which had helped the family pay for medical bills and tuition.Peter shared with Arnold how Alice’s honesty had saved them years ago. Arnold, shocked and embarrassed by his actions,

apologized sincerely to Alice. Peter, grateful for Alice’s kindness, decided to repay her by offering an all-expenses-paid European trip. Alice, moved to tears, had no idea the impact of her simple act of honesty.As they prepared to leave, Arnold, inspired by Alice’s selflessness,

asked her to teach him how to truly see people. Alice, with wisdom, explained that such kindness was already inside him—it was a choice. Peter realized that his son had learned a valuable life lesson, and though they missed their flight, they left with a newfound appreciation for integrity and gratitude.
