Gabby was a girl so glad, full of giggles, never sad. She loved to play in the sun, having oodles and oodles of fun.
One bright morning while she played, she saw a squirrel who looked quite dismayed. 'Oh dear squirrel, why the frown? Let's turn that upside-down!'
'My acorns, they're all gone away. I have nothing to eat today,' said the squirrel with a tiny tear. Gabby knew she must bring cheer.
Gabby thought and had a plan, she would help, yes, she can! She dashed inside, quick as a flash, to find some food in her secret stash.
With an apple here and a nut there, a bounty of goodies from everywhere! Gabby gathered, stacked, and packed, making sure nothing lacked.
Back to the squirrel she did race, a bright smile on her face. 'Here, dear friend, enjoy this feast. You won't find better, not in the least!'
The squirrel munched and crunched with glee, tail wagging wild and free. 'Thank you, Gabby, you're the best, much better than all the rest!'
Gabby felt all warm inside, her heart swelled up with pride. Helping others, big or small, made her feel ten feet tall.
And from that day, come rain or sunny, Gabby and the squirrel were always full of honey. They played and shared, every day, in their own special way.
Remember this story of Gabby so true, gratitude and kindness are magic, too. When you help and share, your heart will glow, and happiness will always grow.
Here's a tip for all to see: The more you give, the happier you'll be. An act of kindness every day, keeps the gloominess away!
So be like Gabby, full of cheer, spread love and joy far and near. A grateful heart will lead the way, making each and every day a happy, happy day!
