Mr. Whippy
A community film celebrating compassion and connection.
Then all of a sudden the yelling did cease, for someone was holding a token of peace...As an iconic gesture, the boy stood alone, like the statue of liberty; holding his cone,
the sun multiplied as the droplets of warm ice-cream ran down the boy’s arm, they both stood quite still as the man caught his breath, this pure act of goodness near shocked him to death!
