It was a bright and sunny morning in Caillou's neighborhood. Caillou was playing with his toy cars, making them race along the kitchen floor. Suddenly, he heard his mother calling him from the living room.

"Caillou, come here quickly!" she said. Caillou ran towards her, curious to find out what was going on. She pointed to the TV, where a news report was playing.

The news report was about a missing kitten. It had black fur and green eyes, and it was last seen at the park. Caillou's eyes lit up as he thought about helping find the lost kitten.

"I want to help find the kitten, Mom," Caillou said, determination in his voice. His mom smiled at his enthusiasm and said, "Alright, but remember, you only have 60 seconds to look in each place."

With a nod, Caillou grabbed his favorite cap, put it on, and rushed out of the house. His first stop was the park, where the kitten was last seen. He looked around, but couldn't find the kitten.

Next, he went to the grocery store, where the kitten was often seen playing. He looked around, but still, no sign of the kitten. Caillou was starting to get worried.

He then remembered a small alleyway where cats often gathered. As he approached it, he heard a soft meow. He quickly looked around and there, hidden behind a trash can, was the missing kitten.

Caillou carefully approached the scared kitten, gently talking to it. "Don't worry, little kitty, I'm here to help," he said softly. The kitten looked at him with wide, scared eyes.

Caillou slowly extended his hand to the kitten. It hissed at first, but as he continued to speak softly, it calmed down. Finally, it let Caillou pick it up.

Holding the kitten gently, Caillou made his way back home. His heart was filled with joy. He had found the missing kitten, and he did it all in less than 60 seconds at each place.

As he entered the house, his mom looked up, surprised. "You found the kitten!" she exclaimed, rushing over to them. She carefully took the kitten from Caillou and thanked him.

"You did a great job, Caillou," she said, her eyes shining with pride. Caillou beamed at her words, feeling proud of himself. He had saved the day, and it felt amazing.

Later that day, the owner of the kitten came to their house. He was an elderly man with a kind smile. He was overjoyed to see his lost kitten and thanked Caillou profusely.

"You're a little hero, Caillou," he said, patting Caillou's head. Caillou blushed and looked down at his feet, feeling shy but happy. He had not only found the kitten but also made someone very happy.

That night, as Caillou lay in bed, he thought about his day. He had done something really good, and it made him feel wonderful. He decided that he wanted to help others more often.

As he drifted off to sleep, he promised himself that he would keep looking for ways to help. After all, every second counts when it comes to making a difference. And Caillou was ready for it.

The next morning, Caillou woke up with renewed energy. He had a purpose now - to help others. And with his determination and kind heart, he knew he could make a difference.
