Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a boy named Tim. Tim was known for being very kind and helpful. He loved to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
One sunny day, Tim heard about an elderly woman named Mrs. Turner who lived all alone in a little cottage at the edge of the village. Mrs. Turner was finding it difficult to take care of her garden, which had become overgrown with weeds and thorny bushes. She was too frail to do the hard work herself.
Tim decided to visit Mrs. Turner and offer his help. He knocked on her door, and she answered with a warm smile. Tim told her, “I’ve come to help you with your garden, Mrs. Turner. I have my gardening tools with me.”
Mrs. Turner was delighted by Tim’s kindness and accepted his offer gladly. Together, they worked hard, pulling out weeds, trimming bushes, and planting colorful flowers. Tim worked tirelessly, and Mrs. Turner helped as much as she could.
As they worked side by side, they talked and laughed. Mrs. Turner shared stories of her youth, and Tim listened attentively. Tim learned a lot from her, and she appreciated his company.
After many hours of hard work, the garden looked beautiful once again. Mrs. Turner was overjoyed. She thanked Tim with tears of gratitude in her eyes. She said, “You’ve not only helped my garden, but you’ve also brought happiness and companionship into my life, young Tim.”
Tim smiled and replied, “Helping others is a great joy, and I’m happy to have made a new friend like you, Mrs. Turner.”
From that day on, Tim visited Mrs. Turner regularly. They continued to work on the garden together, and their friendship grew stronger with each passing day. Tim’s helping hand had not only transformed Mrs. Turner’s garden but had also brought happiness and warmth into her life.
The moral of the story is: “Helping others, especially those in need, can bring joy, friendship, and happiness into our lives.”
