Be Kind to One Another

Lily Stuart and sisters Ellie and May Graham are inseparable friends who share their school days, games, and small adventures. At school, a cherished silver “Reward of Merit” medal is given each week to the pupil with perfect lessons and conduct, and May longs especially to earn it after coming so close several times.

When a heavy snowfall makes the journey to school seem impossible, May’s hopes appear to vanish at the very end of the week. Her friends set out without her, but Ellie cannot bear the thought of May losing her chance and turns back to help. Their walk through the snow becomes a gentle lesson in thoughtfulness, courage, and the happiness that comes from putting a friend’s feelings before one’s own.

Warm, simple, and intended for young listeners, this story celebrates everyday kindness rather than grand adventures. It offers a reassuring reminder that generosity can make an ordinary day feel truly special.
