Here is a heartwarming story:
Every Friday, old Mrs. Bennett baked a batch of cookies and left a small plate on her porch with a note that read, “Take one if you need a little sweetness today.”
She never saw who took them, but every week, the plate was empty.
One rainy Friday, the cookies sat untouched. Mrs. Bennett sighed and looked out the window, wondering if her quiet kindness had gone unnoticed all along.
That evening, there was a soft knock at her door. A teenage boy stood there, soaked and nervous. In his hands was a slightly crumpled note that read, “Thank you for the cookies. They made hard weeks feel less lonely.”
He handed her a single wildflower and added, “This is for you. Just in case you need a little sweetness today too.”
Mrs. Bennett smiled, her eyes misty. “I think I did.”
