Young Man?

This past Monday, as I was walking up the ramp to my workplace, I caught up with an older man who was walking slowly, with a cane. I slowed behind him; as we reached the door a gust of wind took his black baseball cap and flung it back down the ramp. I turned and ran after it; as I reached for it another bit of wind blew it just from my reach. Finally I retrieved it for the man. He smiled and said, 'thank you, you are so kind, young man'. I laughed and told him that I was not a young man; but he just smiled and said 'enjoy your youth'.
