Leo sat at his desk. He had a box of bright crayons.
Mia sat next to him. She wanted to draw a big red sun.
Suddenly, Miaâs box fell on the floor. All her crayons rolled far away.
Mia felt very sad. She did not want to cry in class.
Leo saw the crayons on the rug. He got down on his knees to help.
"Do not worry," Leo said with a smile. "I will help you pick them up."
They crawled under the big wooden desks. They looked for the lost colors.
They picked up the red and blue crayons. They found the green and yellow ones too.
Mia smiled and said thank you to Leo. Leo felt very warm and happy inside.
It is good to help our friends. Kindness is like a warm hug.
Now they could both draw beautiful pictures. They were the best of friends.
