Acts of kindness can be big or small, easy or difficult. Sometimes, helping someone is simple, like opening a door or smiling at a stranger. Other times, it can be harder, like giving time or money to someone in need.
For example, Maria helped an old man carry his groceries up the stairs. It was not easy because the bags were heavy, but she wanted to help. Another example is Alex, who gave his lunch to a hungry friend. He was still hungry after, but he felt happy to help.
Some acts of kindness require courage. A person might stand up for a classmate who is being bullied. Another person might donate blood even if they are scared of needles. These actions take more effort, but they make a big difference.
