Content
Once upon a time in the bustling town of Ikorodu, Lagos State, there lived four friends named Adeyemi, Babatunde, Fidelis, and Ayomide. They were known for their kind hearts and willingness to help others.

One sunny afternoon, as they were walking home from school, they came across an elderly woman struggling to carry a heavy bag of groceries. Without hesitation, Adeyemi rushed forward and offered to help. Babatunde and Fidelis joined in, relieving the woman of her burden. Ayomide, noticing that the woman looked tired, suggested they walk her home.
Grateful for their assistance, the elderly woman introduced herself as Mama Ola and invited the friends inside. She shared stories of her youth and the importance of kindness. Impressed by their compassion and good character, Mama Ola decided to reward the boys.
A few days later, Mama Ola called the boys together and presented them with a surprise. She had arranged for them to visit a nearby wildlife conservation center. Excited, the friends embarked on an adventure filled with close encounters with exotic animals.
As they explored the conservation center, Adeyemi, Babatunde, Fidelis, and Ayomide realized that their act of kindness had not only helped Mama Ola, but it had also brought them an unforgettable experience. They understood that being kind and selfless had its own rewards, and it filled their hearts with joy.
From that day forward, the friends continued to spread kindness throughout Ikorodu. Their acts of goodwill not only brightened the lives of others but also enriched their own. They learned that true rewards lie in the smiles and gratitude of those they helped, and in the happiness that kindness brings to the world
