The Story:
The story begins with a person encountering a child in the park who is feeling sad and crying. In an act of kindness, the person offers their ice cream to the child, bringing a smile to their face. However, the child's happiness is short-lived as they finish the ice cream and become sad again.
The person then offers their chocolate to the child, resulting in another brief moment of happiness before the chocolate is finished and the child becomes sad once more.
Not giving up, the person offers their grapes to the child, leading to another temporary smile before the grapes are finished and the child's sadness returns.
