    In the city park, Amy, a young girl full of life, was playing on her favorite swing. Her laughter echoed through the park, attracting everyone's attention.

    Nearby, Max, a shy boy, sat alone on a bench. He watched Amy from afar, longing to join the fun but hesitant to approach.

    As the sun began to set, Amy noticed Max. She saw his loneliness and decided to approach him. 'Would you like to play with us?' she asked, her eyes sparkling with kindness.

    'Really?' Max asked, surprise mirrored in his eyes. 'Of course,' Amy replied, holding out her hand. Max hesitated for a moment, then took her hand with a shy smile.

    The next day, Amy and Max played together. Max was no longer the lonely boy on the bench. He was part of the fun, all thanks to Amy's kindness.

    A week later, a new girl, Lucy, came to the park. She sat alone, looking sadly at the other children playing.
