In a quiet meadow, Emma the fox had a secret power: she always spoke kind words. If someone tripped, Emma said, 'You’ll be running again in no time!' When the river was low, she told the fish, 'Rain is coming soon, don’t worry!' Her words warmed hearts like sunshine. One blustery morning, Emma found Toby the badger sulking after losing a race. 'You did your best, and that’s what counts,' Emma told him. Toby smiled and tried again the next day. As Emma continued her walks, she noticed more smiles and less arguing. The meadow grew friendlier, and even the shyest animals spoke up. One day, Emma slipped and landed in a puddle. Embarrassed, she tried to laugh it off, but she felt small. Then the animals gathered around. 'You’re always so brave, Emma!' said the mice. 'We’re proud of you,' added the birds. Hearing their kind words, Emma’s heart swelled. She realized kindness always returns. From that day on, Emma made sure every creature in the meadow heard at least one kind word a day. And the meadow bloomed with joy and friendship, all thanks to the magic of kindness.
