A rich boy leaves no stone unturned in mocking a poor girl whose mother washes toilets. He insults her to the extreme one day, only to regret it later when his father pays him a surprise visit at school.

“Here, darling. I have only $3. Go, get your ice cream”, said Grace.
“Thanks, mom!” replied Kelly, blushing away with the money without noticing Sam.
“MOM??!” exclaimed Sam. He had no idea that Kelly’s mother...
