Spare the snowman

My three year old son and I went across our back lane to explore the huge snow pile in the city parking lot.
We decided to make a snowman, my son's first, and he had a blast.
After lunch, I looked out the window to see a loader in the lot preparing to remove the snow pile and clean the lot. I ran out and took a quick picture of our snowman to capture the memory before he was plowed away.
To my surprise, the loader operator intentionally avoided the snowman and cleared the entire lot around it.
While a small gesture, it would have been much easier for him to not bother working around our snowman.
Thanks for making a three-year-old's day!
