Mark was a nice boy. He helped everyone in need. He was especially helpful to those who were in distress. If someone called out for help, Mark volunteered as fast as he could. One day, Mark’s class went on a field trip. In a cave, he saw a green gnome tied to a rock. Mark was moved by his condition. Just as the gnome saw Mark, he shouted, “Please help me. My name is Duncan. An evil giant trapped me here. He will eat me when he gets back.” Reassuring Duncan, Mark quickly untied him. Then, they both ran off to save themselves. That evening, as Mark and his class were returning home, their bus got stuck on a cliff. The bus was about to fall off, when suddenly, Duncan appeared and pushed their bus back on to the road. Mark was happy that his kindness had been rewarded.
