"My you're an honest one Nancy. Most folks would just go on and take the pennies that come out."

Nancy shrugged. "It just didn't feel right to take them."

"Well, it's fine if you do. Just don't go telling anyone about my secret." He tapped the counter. "Wouldn't want everyone to know."

She nodded. "Sure," she agreed. "You don't have to worry."

"Good. Now, here's what I wanted to give you." He pushed a small bag in front of her. "Just a little something to say thank you for your help."

Inside were several Koko Kringle bars. "Thanks!" she exclaimed.
