He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar, handing it to a little girl in front of him. Her face lit up with a bright smile.
As he walked away, he said, "You know, Children are happy with just five rupees." the little girl stared at him still smiling softly.
The next day She saw the same man standing before her, This time, she gave him a chocolate. The man smiled genuinely, and then the little girl repeated the words. He said the day before; you know, Children are happy with just five rupees."
The man chuckled and said softly. "Just make sure to take care of that beautiful smile of yours."
As he left from there both of them were still smiling.

The Last Letter on the Shelf
I never meant to leave it there. The old wooden shelf in the corner of the living room, stacked with books that smelled faintly of dust and sunlight, had always been my mother’s domain. She used it like a shrine—little trinkets, half-finished novels, pressed flowers, and, most importantly, letters. So many letters. Some she’d kept from decades ago, tied with ribbon, their paper edges soft and worn. Others were more recent, hastily scribbled notes of gratitude, apology, or love.

Great job Sk. It may be short but it is packed with great sentiment. I liked it a lot.
Nothing like even a small dose of kindness to make someone smile. Your story does that. Good job.
Very well written, congrats 👏
It was like some advertisement campaign cool.
Yes, keep those smiles! Love this. :)
Sweetness! In his words, in her smile, and in that chocolate too 💗 I wish you could learn to be a little bit sweet too 🤣🤣 Also, If someone guves me noodles; instead of chocolates... I'll be more happier 😩🤝
The cover image makes me want to tear up, it’s too wholesome 🥲 This story shows just how important kindness is. Do it, not just because it will return to you, but because it will keep us all smiling. I think right now my heart is smiling, and my day has been made. Just from a few lines. Nicely done SK 🤗♥️
I need some chocolates too! An engaging story!
Now, where do I find people that would give me chocolates? Do I have to give them first? But what if after I give them, they don't give me mine. Then I'd be sad. And I won't be smiling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your story!
