Carl was helping his sister sell Girl Scout cookies. Earlier in the day the siblings set-up outside a grocery store.
Marie had just finished shopping when she first spotted the girl, and then the hunk standing next to her.
"You look too old to be a Girl Scout," she standing in front of the table, looking up and down at Carl.
"That's funny of you to say. I'm helping my sister here. My name is Carl," he said, also giving Marie a quick scan.
"You could call me Marie," she said. "Do you do home delivery?"
Carl thought for half a minute. "I could do that if you bought, say, $50 worth of cookies."
His sister was in awe of that, as so far they had sold $20 worth. She was jumping up and down in excitement of the offer.
"How about if I get $100 worth of cookies?"
"That would work? What kind and how many do you want?" Carl said
Marie wrote her name and address on a slip of paper, and told Carl he could choose the cookies himself, and asked if he could stop by at 6 pm.
"Yes ma'am," Carl said.
Marie smiled, liking Carl's politeness, and she winked at his sister, and went on her way.
Carl's sister hugged him and thanked him for being there to help her. She looked up to her brother a lot.
The siblings decided to call it a day, as the $100 order would take up almost all of the girls' existing supply of cookies.
Carl placed what they had in five boxes and put them in the back of his pickup truck. He then folded up the table and also put it in the back, and helped his sister into the truck and they drove to get some ice cream cones.
Around 5:50 pm Carl arrived at the address on the slip of paper, he loaded the boxes on a dolly and walked up to Rutgers front door, and rang the bell.
Marie arrived after a couple minutes and opened the door.
"Hello there, I like your promptness."
