True Rebbe Story.

Two incredible Rebbe stories heard from Rabbi Eli Silberstein who heard them directly from the man. 

There was once a young bobover family who lived in crown Heights in the 60's. They had a 9 year old son who was walking to school when he met the Rebbe, who noticed he was struggling to hold his backpack. The Rebbe asked what was inside, to which he said there was a siddur, a chumash, a shulchan orech etc..  The Rebbe asked if there were lockers in school, to which he said there wasn't. The Rebbe then told him to go to the bobover Rebbe and tell him that he met the lubavitcher Rebbe who said that there should be lockers in school because by the time the talmidim come to school, they're too tired to learn. This young boy did so and within 24 hours all the bobover schools had lockers. 

Second story: when this boy was about 9 years old he worked for a grocery store and he would deliver groceries. One time right before pesach he was delivering groceries to rebbetzin Chanah, while the Rebbe was there. The Rebbe took the groceries, put them away and then tipped him 10 dollars, which was a lot of money at that time. There was a group of chassidim waiting outside the house and asked him what happened, to which he told him that the Rebbe gave him 10 dollars. A chassid then bought it off of him for 20 dollars. When he got home he told his father that he wanted to buy a suit for Yom tov. When asked where he had the money from, he told him the story. His father was very upset but there was nothing to do. On acharon shel pesach his father went to the Rebbe for kos shel Bracha and told him that he had a lot of agmos nefesh that his son sold his ten dollars, but the Rebbe didn't respond. A few weeks later, after shavous the boy was again delivering groceries to rebbetzin Chana, and the Rebbe was there again. The Rebbe then pulled a ten dollar bill and told him, this one is for you, and he then took a second one and said, this one is for you to sell.
