Bridging Silence with Kindness

Two villages stood on opposite sides of a silent river — no one spoke across it anymore.

One night, a boy sent a paper boat downstream, with a note that said,

“Hello, whoever you are.” Days passed… then a boat floated back — “Hello to you

too.” Soon the river filled with boats carrying kind words, laughter,

and hope. And one morning, the villagers woke to find a wooden bridge,

built quietly in the night. Moral: Kindness can cross any distance — even

one built by silence.
