Dream Crusher

The other day, I had just clocked off. A young boy came up to the register asking for caramel.
"For your apples?" I ask. He nods.
"Sorry, we don't carry that any more."
He said nothing, and left.
His disappointment was palpable. You could see it in his eyes, his dreams getting crushed, and how he felt nothing in life would ever be good.

I saw him laughing and smiling minutes later as I left. 
Kids are great, eh?
