As they passed the ice-cream station, the girl asked for an ice-cream, but her mother told her no.

The little girl immediately began to whine and moan and whine, but

the mother said calmly,"Chin Chin, we just have half of the aisles left to go through; don't be upset. It won't be long now."

A little later, Dave was stacking chocolate boxes in the sweets section, when the mother walked past with the girl in her trolley.

As they went by, the little girl asked for sweets.

she began to whine and moan, moan and whine all over again.

The mother smiled and said,"There, there, Chin Chin, don't cry. Only two more aisles to go, and then we'll check out and go home, OK?"

Dave was helping the cashier bagging items, when the mother and her little girl arrived at the check-out.

the kid went into moan and whine overdrive!

The mother gritted her teeth and said,"Chin Chin, we'll be out of this supermarket in just five teeny tiny minutes, and then you can go home and have a nice nap."

Seeing she had her hands full, Dave offered to help the mother carry her shopping out to the car park.

Dave sought to encourage her with a compliment:

"You deserve a medal for being so patient with little Chin Chin."
