Tompok, a playful cat, lived in a peaceful village. Named for his white fur with black spots, he was the favourite of Pak Ali's family. Every morning, he would wake up early and head to the kitchen for his breakfast.

Mak Cik Salmah, Pak Ali's wife, would always prepare fresh milk and a small fish for Tompok. After breakfast, Tompok would go out to play in the yard with his small ball, leaping and kicking it around.

Ahmad and Aisyah, Pak Ali's children, would often join in and play with Tompok. Their laughter filled the air, making the atmosphere lively and cheerful.

One day, while playing in the yard, Tompok spotted a small sparrow that had fallen from its nest. The bird looked scared and unable to fly. Tompok approached the bird gently and cautiously.

With utmost care, Tompok picked up the sparrow with his mouth and brought it to a safe spot under a large tree. Ahmad and Aisyah, who saw this, were amazed at Tompok's kindness and immediately told Mak Cik Salmah.

Mak Cik Salmah quickly made a temporary nest using a small box and soft cloth for the sparrow. Tompok sat next to the box, as if guarding the little bird. Every day, Tompok would accompany the sparrow until it recovered and was able to fly again.

A few weeks later, the sparrow was finally healed. On a bright morning, it flew out of the box and perched on a tree branch. It chirped happily as if thanking Tompok.

Tompok watched the sparrow fly joyfully, feeling proud of what he had done. His cheerful nature and kind heart made him loved by everyone in the village.

Since that day, Tompok became even more cheerful and was loved by all the villagers. The news of his kindness spread far and wide, and everyone admired his caring and cheerful nature.

Tompok continued to live happily with Pak Ali's family, playing and making everyone around him smile. His story not only tells about his fun playtimes but also his noble heart.

Indeed, his story is a reminder to us all, that no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. And Tompok's story will continue to inspire and bring smiles to the faces of everyone in the village.

So, this is the story of Tompok, the cheerful cat, who is not only smart at play but also has a noble heart. May his cheerfulness and kindness continue to bring joy and warmth to the peaceful village.
