    One day, a new kid named Ali moved to the neighborhood. He was shy and found it hard to make new friends.

    Aisha noticed Ali's loneliness. She thought hard about how she could help him feel welcomed.

    After discussing her idea with her mother, Aisha decided to invite Ali to her house to play and meet other kids.

    The next day at the park, Aisha approached Ali and invited him to her house. Ali's face lit up with a broad smile.
