Anya lives in a big country. The country has a big problem. New rules make people sad and afraid. People do not talk to each other very much. They stay in their homes.
Anya has a neighbor named Mr. Ivan. Mr. Ivan is an old man. His garden is empty and brown. He is too tired to work in it. Anya feels sad for him.
One day, Anya goes to the garden. She brings seeds and water. She works for a long time. The garden looks beautiful again. She leaves vegetables for Mr. Ivan.
Mr. Ivan is very happy. Anya feels happy, too. She is a good citizen because she helps people. Her small act of kindness makes her community a better place.
