Maya was walking home from school when she heard a soft whimper near the bushes. Curious, she tiptoed closer and saw a tiny puppy shivering under a leaf. It looked scared and hungry. Maya gently reached out her hand. The puppy slowly came closer and licked her fingers. She wrapped it in her scarf and carried it home.

At lunch, Maya watched her classmates unpack sandwiches, fruit, and cookies. Her stomach growled. She didn’t want to ask for help, but her friend Ava noticed. “Want half of my sandwich?” Ava offered. Maya nodded shyly and whispered, “Thanks.”
