Once upon a time, in a small village nestled among rolling hills, lived a kind-hearted brother and sister named Lily and Ethan. Lily was four years old, with curly golden hair that framed her smiling face, and Ethan was five years old, with twinkling blue eyes that sparkled with mischief. They lived with their parents in a cozy cottage surrounded by colorful flowers and towering trees.
One sunny morning, as Lily and Ethan were playing near a bubbling brook, they noticed an injured bird hopping along with a wounded wing. The poor little bird chirped sadly, unable to fly. Without hesitation, Lily and Ethan rushed to its aid, knowing that they had to help.
"What can we do to help the bird, Ethan?" asked Lily, her eyes wide with concern.
Ethan pondered for a moment and then said, "I remember hearing Grandma say that when we help others, God always lends a hand. Let's make a tiny splint for the bird's wing, just like the doctors do when we break a bone."
With determined faces, the siblings gathered twigs, leaves, and soft grass to create a delicate splint. Gently, they carefully wrapped it around the bird's injured wing. The bird looked up at them with gratitude shining in its eyes.
"Thank you," chirped the bird in a feeble voice. "You are kind and compassionate children."
Lily smiled, her heart brimming with joy. "Don't worry, little bird. We won't leave you alone. We will take care of you until you can fly again."
Together, Lily and Ethan fashioned a cozy nest for the bird using soft feathers and twigs. They took turns feeding it small pieces of fruit and drops of water. Every day, they would sit beside the nest, singing lullabies to the bird, hoping their songs would bring it comfort.
Days turned into weeks, and the bird's wing gradually healed. One sunny morning, as Lily and Ethan were singing their favorite song to the bird, a gentle breeze rustled through the trees. The bird flapped its wings and, to their amazement, soared into the sky, leaving a trail of happiness in its wake.
Lily and Ethan watched with awe and excitement as the bird disappeared into the horizon. Their hearts swelled with joy, knowing that they had made a difference in a small creature's life.
As they walked back home, hand in hand, Ethan turned to Lily and said, "Remember, Lily, God always helps those who help others. We are so lucky to have been able to make the bird fly again."
Lily nodded, her eyes shining bright. "Yes, Ethan, we must always be kind and helpful to others. That's how we bring smiles to people's faces and make the world a better place."
From that day forward, Lily and Ethan made a promise to themselves and to each other. They would continue helping those in need, knowing that with their love and compassion, they could bring hope and happiness to the world around them. And so, in their small village, their acts of kindness inspired others to lend a hand, spreading the message that God always helps those who help others
The end.
