A friend like that (Story)

One day a guy called Maxton received an automobile from his friend as an birthday present.
On birthday day when Maxton came out of his house ,a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car ,admiring it. "Is this your car ,Uncle? he asked.
Maxton nodded. "My friend gave it to me for birthday." The boy was astounded.

"You mean your friend gave it you and it didn't cost you nothing?
Boy ,I wish..." He hesitated. Of course Maxton knew what is was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a friend like that. But what he lad said jarred Maxton all the way down to his heels.
"I wish" the boy went on ,"that I could be a friend like that." Maxton looked at the boy in in astonishment ,then impulsively he added ,"Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?" "Oh yes I'd love that."

After short ride the boy turned and with his eyes aglow ,said, "Uncle ,would you mind driving in front of my house?" Maxton smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Maxton was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
He run up the steps. hen in a little while Maxton heard him coming back ,but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step ,then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
"There it is ,a little brother ,just like I told you upstairs. His friend gave it to him for birthday and it didn't cost him a penny. And some day I'm gonna give you one just like it...then you can see yourself all the pretty things in the shop windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
