Timmy’s room was filled with toys. He had so many things that there was barely space to walk.

One day, his mom suggested donating some objects to kids who had none.

Timmy was hesitant, fearing he’d miss his things too much.

But, after choosing a few toys to give away, Timmy felt surprisingly good.

His heart swelled when he saw the joy on other kids’ faces. Timmy was joyful as he gathered more toys to donate.

Timmy learned that objects don’t bring happiness; sharing and kindness do.

He realized that letting go of things brings joy to himself and others.
