　　There are times in our life when we don’t take action because we feel the act of kindness is too little and that it wouldn’t make a difference.

　　1

　　, sometimes the smallest act can make a huge impact on someone’s life. There are many different ways we can show

　　2

　　to others, and it doesn’t have to be in a big way. I recently

　　3

　　the story of The Lion and The Mouse. While this story has been around for a long time, it still has

　　4

　　in its words. Below is the story:
