Resident Katie Corrado shared a good citizen moment on Facebook from Halloween night.

  • Good Citizen

One young Towamencin trick-or-treater may have been dressed as a little shark, but his true visage is an angel.

Township resident Katie Corrado's faith in humanity was restored Thursday night, as shared on her Facebook.

"A group of pre-teens hit the last of our candy bowl. There wasn’t much left, and one kid yelled 'Thanks for nothing!' Another turned the bowl over and pounded on it," wrote Corrado Friday morning.

She passed it off as "kids being kids." The annoyed adolescents ran away -- except for one little shark.

“He stayed behind, turned the bowl over, and put some of his own candy in the empty bowl,” she wrote. “This act of kindness and thoughtfulness toward other kids is incredible to me and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, little shark!”

Corrado’s friends responded with their own horror stories of rude trick-or-treaters, but everyone enjoyed the small sliver of hope, from a little shark. Corrado said the good citizen put in eight pieces of “good candy.”

 “He put in a Reese’s,” she wrote. “Now that is just pure angel status.”
