--Story Below—

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Karen. She was known for being mean and making fun of others. She never wanted to share her toys or help anyone. She was selfish and didn't have any friends.

One day, Karen got very sick and had to stay in the hospital for a long time. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Karen felt very lonely and sad. No one came to visit her, not even her parents.

As time went by, Karen started to think about how she had treated others. She realized that being mean didn't make her happy and it didn't make others happy either. She wished she could go back in time and change her ways.

One day, a boy named Bobby came to visit her in the hospital. He brought her some books and some soup to help her feel better. Karen was surprised and grateful for his kindness.

The boy told Karen that he forgave her for being mean and that he wanted to be friends. Karen was touched by his kindness and realized that she had been wrong to treat him so badly.

Karen began to change her ways. She even apologized to those she had hurt in the past. Slowly but surely, Karen made friends and was much happier.

Karen learned that being kind and caring is much better than being mean and selfish. She felt good about herself and the way she was treating others. From that day on, Karen continued to be kind and caring to everyone she met.
