Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived in London. One week, while she was waiting at the bus stop with her mom, she suddenly saw a man with a big smile on his face. He walked up to her and her mom and spoke pleasantly, asking if they needed any help.

Lily's mom explained that they were waiting for the bus to take them home. The man, who was very kind, offered to give them a ride in his car. Lily was a little nervous, but her mom said it was okay as long as they could understand each other.

The man and Lily's mom spoke for a few minutes and then he turned to Lily and asked if she would like to come with them. Lily nodded eagerly and got into the car. They drove around London, pointing out all the sights and sounds, and Lily felt so happy. She couldn't believe her good luck!

Finally, they arrived at Lily's house and the man helped her out of the car. He bent down and gave her a big smile, and Lily smiled back. She was grateful for his kindness and was so glad she could understand and speak to him.

From that day on, Lily always remembered the week she met the man at the bus stop and how he made her day with his smile and pleasant words.
