In the small town of Green Valley, the square always looked colorful and full of life thanks to Madam Carmen. Every day, this kind old lady lovingly cared for the flowers in the park, creating a garden full of colors and aromas that enchanted everyone.

But lately, the children of the Friendship Club noticed that the flowers in the park were no longer as well cared for, and that Madam Carmen no longer walked around the square as before. The old lady seemed to have left the place she loved so much.

Worried, the children decided to find out what was happening. They asked the neighbors and discovered that Madam Carmen was sad because her daughter had moved to another city. She felt lonely and had no desire to continue caring for her beloved garden.

Sofia, the most observant of the group, proposed an idea: “What if we keep her company? We could help her with the flowers on the weekends and tell her our club stories.”

The following Saturday, the Friendship Club went to Madam Carmen’s house. They knocked on the door, and when she greeted them with a surprised expression, Sofia spoke up: “Madam Carmen, we know that you feel lonely, and we want to help you with the flowers in the park. Besides, we have so many stories to tell you!”

The old lady was thrilled to see the smiles and enthusiasm of the children. From that day on, every weekend became a special moment. The children helped Madam Carmen clean, water and prune the plants. While they worked, they told her everything that happened in the town and at the Friendship Club.

With each story, Madam Carmen laughed and her eyes regained the sparkle they had before. The children told her about everything from school adventures to pranks and secrets they shared with each other.

As the days went by, the square bloomed again, and so did Madam Carmen’s spirit. Her hands, accompanied by the small hands of her new friends, returned the park to its splendor. The colors of the flowers became more vivid, and their fragrance beautified the entire plaza.

Madam Carmen, once lonely, began to feel that the children were like a new family to her. Her heart filled with joy, and their smiles lit up every corner of Green Valley. Soon, not only the plaza, but the entire town enjoyed her company and the joy she brought to those around her.

One day, Madam Carmen looked at the children and said: “Thank you, little ones. I thought I was alone, but you have shown me that friendship can blossom like the flowers in the park, filling the soul with love and companionship.”

The children smiled and understood that a small gesture of kindness and companionship could bring happiness back to someone who had lost it. And so, in Green Valley, the Friendship Club continued to sow joy and good memories, always remembering that a united community can make even the loneliest heart blossom.
