I was shopping in a drug store one day. I noticed a small boy taking jars from a low counter & playing 'train' with them on the floor. The clerk saw him & shouted, "Leave those things alone, you'll break them." The child turned a puzzled face to the clerk. At that moment, I noticed that the little boy was not completely normal. After a pause, he began playing with the items. The clerk scolded him again; his voice was louder this time.
Suddenly, a girl about 7 years old appeared from around the end of the counter, ran to the boy & bending on her knees beside him, put an arm about him & began to speak softly. I couldn't hear what she said to him. But the boy slowly & carefully began to replace the items on the shelf.
The little girl then rose to her feet & faced the clerk," He doesn't understand when you talk that way". She said," He understands what I say because I love it into him".
