When my sister was young, Dad found a bag of coins and learned she had been helping elderly neighbor Mrs. Green after school.\
She watered plants, filled bird feeders, did small chores, and kept Mrs. Green company in exchange for a few coins.\
Afraid she had done something wrong, she cried that she thought Dad would be angry, but he praised her kindness and started a savings jar with her.\
Over time, the coins became unimportant as she and Mrs. Green grew close, teaching her that helping others brings trust, friendship, and joy.
