## The Seed of Kindness
In a busy city where everyone was always in a hurry, lived an old man named Elias. Every day, he sat on a wooden bench in the park, holding a small cloth bag. Most people walked past him without a glance, but Elias didn't mind. He was busy planting "seeds."
One afternoon, a young boy named Leo sat next to him, looking very sad. He had lost his favorite toy. Elias didn't offer money or a lecture. Instead, he reached into his bag and handed Leo a small, smooth stone with a painted sun on it.
"Whenever you feel like you've lost something," Elias whispered, **"remember that you still have the power to give something."**
Leo was confused but kept the stone. Years later, Leo became a teacher. He didn't just teach math; he taught kindness. One day, he saw a student crying because she felt lonely. Remembering the old man, Leo reached into his pocket and handed her a small, handwritten note that said: *"You are important."*
The girl smiled, and her entire day changed. That small act of kindness traveled from the old man to Leo, and from Leo to the girl, creating a chain of happiness that never ended.
**The moral:** You don't need to be rich or famous to win hearts; you just need to be kind. A small spark can light up someone's entire world
