The video is here:

Funny how much of a buzz I am getting from seeing this be so popular.

I hope a lot of kids enjoy it. :)

Despite those that say "No good deed goes unpunished!(and imply "unappreciated"), the reality is that good deeds always have some reward, expected or not, but the reward is often something that can't be "monetized" - but often priceless.
