HOW I HELPED MY FRIEND

By Sam Piatt

One day my friend Seth was riding his bike, when suddenly a big dog that lived right next door to his house attacked him. From that day on, he’s been scared of the dog. Five days later, I went over to my grandma’s house to visit. Then Seth came over to play with me. When it was time for Seth to go, he told me about the dog and he asked me to come with him, in case the dog jumped the fence again. So I walked with him, across the road and up his driveway, to his house. The dog did not attack us!

I’m thankful that I had the chance to show compassion to Seth and comfort him.
