Dr Martin Luther King Jr.once said, "It is always the right time to do the right thing." Joey Prusak, a manager of a Dairy Queen(a store which mainly sells ice —cream), is a person who recently did the right thing.

While serving customers at the Dairy Queen recently, Joey saw that an old man waiting in line dropped a twenty—dollar bill (钞票).However, the old man did not notice the bill fall to the ground.Then a young woman saw this and quickly picked up the bill, but instead of returning it to the old man, she put it into her own pocket!

When Joey saw this, he asked the young woman to return the bill to the old man.The young woman refused.So Joey asked the young woman to leave his store at once.Then, Joey took out his own $20 and gave it to the old man.Joey made about $10 an hour, so his kindness cost him about 2 hours of work.

Although he did not ask for any recognition(赞扬), words about his good act spread and made him famous.Many people visited the store to meet Joey and praised him for helping the old man. As J.C.Watts said, "A good people is doing the right thing when nobody's looking, Joey Prusak is a person with a good character, and he is a great example to all.
