a 11- year old kid is crying and his friend is showing empathy and helping him to have a better day.

Empathy in action

Adam sitting on a park bench, looking sad with tears on his cheeks, the park visible in the background.

One sunny morning, Adam was feeling sad. He had lost his favorite toy. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he sat on the park bench, feeling lost and alone. He wished he could find his toy and be happy again.

The Tears of Adam

Jack placing his hand on a somber Adam's shoulder, with trees and a playground in the background.

Just then, Jack, Adam's friend, saw him sitting on the bench. He walked over and asked Adam what was wrong. Adam told him about his lost toy and how sad he felt. Jack listened with empathy and put his hand on Adam's shoulder.

The Kindness of Jack

Jack with a look of determination, searching under the park slides, with playground equipment in the background.

Jack suggested that they could search for the toy together. Adam's eyes lit up with hope. They searched everywhere - under the slides, behind the swings, and near the trees. After a while, Jack spotted something shiny near the bushes.

The Search for Joy

Adam, with a face full of joy, hugging Jack, with the park and a shiny toy in the foreground.

It was Adam's toy! He hugged Jack with joy and gratitude. They both laughed and played in the park, feeling happy and grateful for each other's friendship. From that day on, they knew that they could always count on each other.
