Street Sweeper Kit's Mum Shine's Mum
It was Sunday; Kit and her mum usually cleaned
the house every week.
While they were cleaning, the doorbell rang - it
was Ping.
"Good morning, Ping!" Kit said to him as she was
wearing gloves and holding a rug.
"Oh, | am sorry to bother you, Kit! | just wanted
to return your lunch box, which you forgot to
take home from school last Friday,” Ping
explained.
Kit took back her lunch box and it was washed.
She immediately thanked Ping again for his kind
efforts.
“No worries! Just an easy little task; it does not
take much time!” Ping replied.

Ping then noticed that Kit's mum was cleaning
the house.
"It seems that you are cleaning your house with
your mum. Do you do that often?” Ping asked.
“Yep! It is our habit to clean the house every
Sunday. We like the house to be clean, making us
feel good. It helps me feel positive and energetic
in whatever | do,” Kit explained.
“| agree. | help with household chores every
Saturday with my family. We try to make
Sunday as a rest day where the family can read
and do things together,” Ping said.
Ping said goodbye to Kit, and Kit told her mum
that Ping had cleaned her lunch box.
“It is nice to have helpful friends, dear!" Kits
mum said to her as she swept the floor.
"Yes, Mum! We always try to help and support
each other when someone is in need. That is why
we are good friends," Kit told her mum that she
was proud to have such good friends.
After two hours of cleaning, Kit sat down for a
rest and started to think about her good
friends; she felt blessed and appreciated how
they always help her when in need.
The next day, Kit greeted Ping as he entered the
classroom, and the rest of the group noticed
them chatting happily.
“Hey, guys! Anything to share with us?” Ace
joined the conversation.
"Nothing much! | brought Kit's lunch box back to
her. | decided to wash it before returning it to
her yesterday.” Ping replied to Ace.
“Wow, Ping, that is so nice of you!” Ace said to
Ping.
“Indeed, | never expected others to help me
clean my lunch box!" Kit said.
“Oh, it is a small act! | am not the only one who is
helpful here; | saw Kit helping her mum clean the
house yesterday, too!" Ping replied.
"You guys are great helpers for your parents; |
rarely do housework at home.” Shine admitted.
The class started. After a few hours, it was time
to go home again. The SPARK frienz decided to
hang out since there was no homework for the
As they were walking, they saw a road sweeper
who looked very tired. The friends decided to
help him carry the garbage bags to the trash
bin so that the sweeper would have less to carry

"You are very helpful! You could have spent your
time playing with your friends, but you chose to
help me instead. Thank you very much,” The
road sweeper expressed his gratitude to them.
"There are five of us here; we can do it quickly
and save you some work. We can see that you
are tired,” Ace said to the sweeper.
The sweeper smiled at them and said goodbye to
them.
The friends then decided to walk towards the
playground for a short while before heading
home.
On the playground, they saw a younger kid fall on
the ground. He started crying because of a small
wound.
Rain ran over to help, using some tissues and
pouring some water from the boy's water bottle
to help him clean his wound.

Kit came forward and tried comforting the boy
by telling him it would soon be fine and the wound
would heal soon since it was a small wound. The

"| have to go; my father is coming to fetch me. |

frienz.
“A little bit of help can mean a lot to others; it
feels great too. We have done a good thing |
today," Kit said to the group.
"We are always happy to help others, Kit! At
home, | help my two little sisters with their
homework, especially for Math. They stopped
doing their homework whenever they could not
answer a question. My parents are busy at
home too; | do not want the girls to trouble them
over this so | will help them with their
homework,” Rain shared about how she helps her
sisters at home.
"It is always nice to have siblings. | am alone, and
besides my mum, | do not have anyone else to
help me with my homework. | also do not want to
bother her too much" Kit said.
That's why

"That is why you have us! We are here to share
and help you whenever you need. That is what
good friends are for. Together, we can help and
support one another.” Ping assured Kit that the
group would always be there for each other.
“| was having a hard time understanding the
Math topic on subtraction we learned last week.
I have been practicing and trying to remember
the steps but | still could not understand them.
Can you help me, Ping?” Kit asked.
“Let us sit together before we go home. | will do
my best to share what | know with you,” Ping
answered.
“Ping, do not forget about our basketball
practice tomorrow. | need your help with my
shooting technique as | cannot seem to get it
right,” Ace reminded Ping.
"will not forget. | need your help to guide me on
my jumping technique too. Since we are training
together, we can help each other by giving each
other feedback to improve,” Ping told Ace.
It is time for the friends to go home. Ping and
Kit walked together to the bench to review their
Math while the other friends walked home.
Shine reached home and told her mum about
how great it felt to go out and help. She also told
her mum how she and her friends are always
helping one another.
