Long ago, in a small mountain village, there lived an old grandmother. Although she was already very old, she was still kind and gentle, always cheerful and smiling. The children in the village loved her very much and would often gather around her to listen to her stories. The grandmother’s stories were always filled with love and warmth. One day, a stranger came to the village. He was dressed in rags and had a sorrowful face. The villagers dared not approach him. Only the old grandmother, with her kind eyes, walked up to the stranger, gave him some food and water, and comforted him. The stranger was deeply touched by the old grandmother's kindness, and a long-forgotten smile returned to his face. From then on, the old grandmother’s stories became even more wonderful, and her actions fully expressed the true meaning of kindness and compassion.
