Eylül was a cheerful and helpful girl living in a tiny village. Every day on her way back from school, she would greet the elderly she saw along the way and help them. One day, an elderly woman fell down on the street. Eylül immediately ran to her and helped her up by holding her hand. The woman praised Eylül, saying, 'You are such a good child!' These words felt like a refreshing water to Eylül's heart. From that day on, the elderly woman began to wait for Eylül every day. Her patience in waiting for Eylül nurtured the desire in her heart to do good and help others. Gradually, she became filled with the wish to support all the elderly around her. Every weekend, Eylül would help her neighbors and bring food and water to those in need. Her actions began to be talked about throughout the village. In response to this, Eylül said to her mother, 'Mother, I have found the way to be a good child!' Her mother smiled and said, 'Always do good, my child. This world needs children like you!' This story illustrates the happiness of being a good child and the peace that doing good brings to one's soul.
