    Every day after school, Lily would visit the local park. There, she would distribute homemade sandwiches to the homeless and less fortunate. Her parents were proud of her generosity and encouraged her.

    One day, as Lily was leaving the park, she noticed an old lady sitting on a bench alone. The lady seemed cold and hungry. Lily decided to approach her and offer a sandwich.
