A young boy recently went viral after his heartwarming encounter at a sneaker store was shared on TikTok.
According to a TikTok clip, the boy had saved his allowance for two whole months just to finally buy a pair of sneakers he had been eyeing for the longest time.
When he arrived at the store, he confidently handed over a wad of small notes, mostly cash saved from daily expenses.
But after counting the money, the store owner gently told him he was still RM10 short.
“Can discount ah?”
The boy, unfazed, politely asked if he could get a RM10 discount. He even told the owner it was fine to just deduct the amount instead.
Touched by the boy’s sincerity and effort, the owner asked more about his story and found out the boy had been patiently saving up just to afford this pair of shoes.
That’s when the owner made a snap decision: he told the boy he would give the shoes to him for free.

The boy was visibly stunned and asked, “Really?” with wide eyes and a face full of disbelief.
Even then, he didn’t want to take advantage and insisted, “No need lah, just discount RM10 can already.”
But the owner stood firm. He gave the shoes to the boy for free and even returned the money the boy had paid.
The TikTok clip has since melted hearts online, with netizens praising the boy for being responsible and the owner for his generosity.
“This little bro is amazing,” the owner wrote. “Saving up your own money just to get something you really want? That’s rare.”
