I am not a great believer in conspiracies. I do not believe Bigfoot really exists except in the strained imaginations of some people. Some want to believe in Bigfoot, and some need to believe in Bigfoot. I'm not one of them.

Now that I was at their table, I had a dilemma. All I had in my pocket
was a $20 bill. As those large, brown eyes looked at me, all six of 
them, I just did not have the heart to buy one box and ask for change. 

"They all look so good I don't know which one to pick," I said to them. 

"We'll help you pick them out." 

That solved that problem but I still had the problem of the $20 bill. As
I pulled the bill from my wallet, I could feel those eyes piercing into 
my soul. Why do Girl Scouts have to be so cute and why do they have to 
have such big brown eyes? This is a conspiracy if ever I heard of a 
conspiracy. 

Finally, I did what anybody else would have done. 

"Give me five boxes," and I hesitated slightly, "here's $20 and keep the
change." 

All six of those brown eyes danced as the rest of the bodies cheered
quite loudly. 

On my way home with my Girl Scout cookies I thought of a verse of
Scripture. "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed 
down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your 
bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be 
measured to you again" (Luke 6:38 KJV). 

Not only did I have the delight of five boxes of Girl Scout cookies but
also I had the joy of giving, which can never be minimized.
