You are somebody's reason to smile!

Google AI made the two graphics for me and I copied one of them.. Can you guess which one is MINE?  HO HO HO

I rounded the corner into the Ice Cream Aisle in Publix, and at the very end, stood a tiny woman, bent with age, unable to look up at the top of the freezers.

 She was just standing there, and I knew what she wanted, she just stood staring at me with squinted eyes, and I could see she did not want to ask for help.

Stepping close to her, I lit her up with my best 100-watt smile and she smiled back at me with a 200-watt smile and said

"I need help, will you help me?"

 I laughed and said, "Yes, I will help you, which one do you want me to get down for you? "

 She laughed and said "I want the Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, I can't see it, but it's always on the top shelf on the right. I handed it to her, and she cuddled it against her sweater like it was a baby, thanked me and we both toddled off in different directions.

She was my smile, I was her smile.
