The old man blinked, vaguely recongising the boy from the shopping precinct.
"This is for you" the boy handed him a cheque for £5000
"What's this for?" he asked
"To thank you" replied the boy smiling.
"Remember when you gave me £2 last week?
Well I spent £1 on a lottery ticket and won £50,000".
Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

Wouldn't that be great?!!!
Ahhhhh - I like to hear those kind of stories!
That's kind of nice to do that. How many would though?
Great 55.
This is excellent!!!!!!! No, truly, I really really like this 55.
I love stories with a happy ending and where people do the right thing.
Great 55.
Oh I WISH!! I'm going to spend the rest of the day handing out €2 coins to the neighbourhood kids LOL. This story's put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.
Random acts of kindness are the best gifts indeed!
I love how you take us on all your jaunts too. What a good time you all had on the train trip.
Have a fabulous weekend!!

this is so sweet, i love the thought. now where did i put that lottery ticket?
I have an odd theory about giving. I think we do it because it makes us feel good...Usually that is the only reward you get!
Clever one!
Here's my Flash-55:
PLAYING HOUSE – THE FATHER OF THE BRIDE

Excellent story. Now that is a sign of respect and honesty. Well written :)
Now if that happened to a dragon we would split 50/50 . We know you humans don't think that way so he did well.
Good 55.

What luck! What a great gesture! if only this weren't fiction.

aawww that would be awesome for one simple act to be repaid many times over. Very sweet 55. :)
Yes respect and honesty Thom, two traits it is always good to see.
You dragons are very kind to split it 50/50 Fandango :)
It would be so good if it really happened Alice Audrey wouldn't it?
Thanks Jadey, I'm happy you liked it. :)
I like to think it could happen Lou :)
Cheers Ron xx
Thanks Cloudia x
Glad you liked it MomsJournal :)
Humanity at its best. I am trying to get up the courage to try to do a '55 flash fiction'. It is a neat idea but I am afraid it is much harder than it looks. I am pretty wordy. My husband would be happy if I could keep it to 55 words on Fridays ~ :)
What luck! And how thoughtful of the young man.
I believe some people still have generous, honorable hearts. :)
Eaton.
It's not as hard as you think Deb, just have a go, you'll do fine! :)
If only it happened in real life Cheshire Wife, wouldn't it be wonderful?
I guess there are some people with generous hearts out there Eaton. :)
