Little Boy Who Wants to Buy a Toy for His Dying Younger Brother Is Kicked Out of the Store – Story of the Day
|Seven-year-old Clyde went to the toy store looking for something for his younger brother, and the store clerk, Charlie, kicked him out because he didn’t have much money. But a surprising person stepped in and uncovered something shocking that made others cry.
“I want to buy this toy for my little brother, Eddie,” Clyde told the store clerk after browsing the aisle for a couple of hours. His mother had brought him but had some errands to run, so she agreed to meet him in the food court, as long as he didn’t wander elsewhere in the mall. Clyde wanted to take his time finding something unique for his little brother, Eddie, but he knew his mother would be worried.

“Kid, this toy is $50. Do you have enough?” the store clerk asked, looking at the boy with a puzzled expression. “I have this,” Clyde answered, pulling out the $10 bill in his pocket.
“That’s not enough, kid. Pick something else,” the clerk suggested.
“But this is the perfect toy. Can you help me find something similar?” the boy begged.
“I’m sorry. There’s actually nothing in this store worth less than $20, boy. You should leave,” the man revealed, gesturing toward the door.
“Please, sir. This is for my little brother. It’s really important,” Clyde pleaded once again.

“Enough, kid. I have to work. Please leave or I’ll have to call security. Where’s your mother anyway?” The man was almost yelling.
Clyde hung his shoulders, left the toy on the counter, and started to exit the store, but someone stopped him. “Wait, child,” a male voice called, and Clyde turned around to see an older man who had been wandering the aisles for a while.
“Yes?” the boy asked curiously. But the sad expression on his face wouldn’t leave because he thought his little brother would be disappointed if he couldn’t buy a new toy, and he wanted him to have something new.
“Why is that toy so important to you?” the man asked.
“It’s for my brother,” Clyde replied.
