Matt and Mandy

Mandy sees Matt sitting under tree, looking discouraged

What’s wrong?

Matt looking sad

I don’t know … it just seems like there’s so much bad stuff in the world.

Mandy smiling kindly

Yeah, it’s scary sometimes.

It helps me to remember that there’s still a lot of good in the world.

Mandy picturing helpful neighbors

Like the neighbors who helped us when our tree fell in the storm.

Mandy remebering gathering donations

Or when our school gathered stuff to help people without homes.

Even just the two of us can make the world a little better.

Should we come up with some ideas?
