In class, Sam noticed his teacher, Mr. Lee, seemed unusually quiet and tired.

Remembering how Mr. Lee always appreciated polite greetings, Sam approached him after the lesson.

With a respectful tone, he asked, “Mr. Lee, are you okay? You seem a bit different today.”

Surprised by Sam’s thoughtful approach, Mr. Lee smiled and shared he’d been having a tough day.

Sam’s polite concern lifted his spirits, showing him his students cared.

From that day, Sam learned that simple acts of politeness can deeply touch others and brighten their day, teaching him the power of empathy and respect in everyday interactions.
