Short Story: "The Helping Hand"

In a peaceful neighborhood, there was a young boy named Sam. One sunny afternoon, as Sam was walking home from school, he noticed an elderly woman struggling with her heavy groceries. Without hesitation, Sam rushed over to offer his help.

"Can I help you carry these, ma'am?"

Sam asked with a smile.

The elderly woman, Mrs. Thompson, looked relieved and grateful. "Oh, thank you, dear. That would be wonderful."

Sam carefully picked up the bags and walked alongside Mrs. Thompson, chatting cheerfully. As they made their way through the neighborhood, neighbors noticed Sam's kind gesture.
