# The Invisible String Sarah had always been the shy girl in class, barely speaking above a whisper and often eating lunch alone. Her classmates weren't unkind, but they simply didn't notice her most of the time. One day, while walking home from school, Sarah noticed an elderly woman struggling with her groceries. Without hesitation, she rushed over to help, carrying the heaviest bags. The woman, Mrs. Thompson, was touched by Sarah's kindness and invited her in for cookies.
