A little preview
On a bright Saturday, the neighborhood park smelled like popcorn and wet grass. Alex walked with a small bag of seed, clutching it like a secret. Today the park had a table where neighbors left notes and tiny treasures. Mr. Patel, who tended the roses, waved from under his hat. Alex wondered if one small kindness could change anyone's day. They set the bag down and decided to share seeds with a shy squirrel and an old bench that looked lonely.
