Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Chiquita who loved to draw and write. One day, she went to the stationery store to buy some new markers and paper. As she was engrossed in picking out her favorite colors, she noticed an older man furtively sneaking around the store.

Chiquita grew curious and followed him to the back of the store where she saw that he was placing all of his purchases into a donation box for a local center. She asked the man why he was doing this, and he told her that he wanted to give back to the community and help those in need.

Chiquita was so inspired by the man's generosity that she decided to volunteer at the donation center. She was relieved to see how much the items people donated could help others, and she made sure to always appreciate everything she had.

From that day on, whenever Chiquita was feeling annoyed about something, she would remember the man at the stationery store and the good that can come from giving. She would also leave a small tip in the donation box to show her gratitude.

The end.
