Once upon a time, there was a still and quiet village. The people who lived there were poor, but they were always happy and friendly to each other. One day, a new person moved into the village. They had a big house and lots of money, but they never talked to their neighbours.

One of the poor people, named Miss, felt sorry for the new person. She thought that maybe they were just lonely and needed some friends. So, she decided to go and talk to them.

Miss walked up to the big house and knocked on the door. The new person answered and Miss asked if they would like to come and play with the other people in the village. The new person was surprised and said they would love to.

So, Miss and the new person went to play with the other people in the village. They had so much fun playing games, singing songs, and telling stories. The new person realized that they had been missing out on all the fun and happiness that the village had to offer.

From then on, the new person became friends with all the people in the village. They would play with them every day and help the poor people whenever they needed it. The village was no longer still and quiet, but filled with laughter and joy.

Miss was happy that she had made a new friend and helped bring happiness to the village. She learned that it doesn't matter how much money you have, what matters is being kind and helping others.
