The Kindness Basket
Eli carries a kindness basket that changes his town, one good deed at a time. Inspired by Jesus’s words, he shows that love grows when shared.
(Based on the Gospel of Jesus – Luke 6:31)
In the cheerful town of Sunbright, a boy named Eli carried a small woven basket every day. Instead of snacks or toys, it held one simple thing: kindness.
Whenever someone needed help—a classmate who dropped their books, a neighbor who looked lonely, or a tired dog needing water—Eli offered something from his heart: a smile, a hand, a kind word.
One morning, his teacher taught a lesson from Jesus: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Eli smiled. “That’s what my basket is for!”
Soon, his kindness spread. Friends began carrying their own imaginary baskets, filling them with good deeds and gentle words.
By the end of the year, the whole town felt warmer, just like Eli’s heart.
Lesson: Kindness is something we can give every day—and when we do, it comes back to us.
