I wish to take this opportunity to say thank you. I want to thank the incredible person, who so selflessly goes above and beyond. Your kindness and generosity is breathtaking. You inspire me.

Thank you.

I have to watch you all the time, the boy said.

When you meet a person as good-hearted as a child, don't ever be selfish, just give them your best and you will become great friends.
