The Secret Helper
Rohan was the new boy in Mrs. Sharma’s class. He was very quiet and shy. Every morning, he came to school earlier than everyone else.
One day, Mrs. Sharma walked to her desk and saw a small red pebble lying near her notebook. She looked around, surprised. “Who left this here?” she thought.
The next morning, a tiny yellow flower appeared on her chair. The day after that, she found a neat drawing of a smiling sun.
Mrs. Sharma asked the class, “Who is my secret helper?” All the children shook their heads. But Rohan quickly looked down at his shoes.
This continued for a whole week. Mrs. Sharma enjoyed every little gift. She finally decided to come to class earlier than usual to find out the truth.
The next morning, she hid near the classroom door. She saw Rohan quietly tiptoe to her desk and place a green leaf on it. Just then, Mrs. Sharma smiled and said, “Good morning, Rohan.”
Rohan jumped in surprise, his face turning red. “I… I’m sorry,” he whispered.
“Sorry? Why?” Mrs. Sharma asked kindly. “I love your gifts. They make me very happy. But why are you doing this?”
Rohan looked up with shy eyes. “On my first day, I was scared. You welcomed me with a smile. It made me feel safe. I wanted to say thank you.”
Mrs. Sharma’s heart filled with warmth. She hugged him and said, “You don’t have to be a secret helper anymore. From now on, you can be my official helper. And the best thank you is your lovely smile.”
From that day, Rohan was not so shy anymore. His small acts of kindness gave him courage and helped him make friends.
Moral: You don’t have to be big or loud to be kind. Even a small, quiet act of kindness can make someone feel special—and it also gives you strength and happiness.
