Un niño de 9 años llamado Nolan se subió a la biblioteca móvil para entregar su registro de lectura de verano de las primeras 10 lecturas completas. Empezó a nombrar las actividades que no había hecho hasta el momento, y una de ellas fue hacer un acto de bondad por alguien. Mientras revisaba los artículos en su tarjeta, dijo que uno de los libros que sacó era para una amiga, y luego se dio cuenta de que sería un acto de bondad al elegir el libro favorito de su amiga.

A 9-year-old named Nolan came on the Bookmobile to turn in his summer reading log for the first 10 completions. He started naming the activities he hadn’t done thus far, and one was to do a kind act for someone. While he was checking out his items on his card, he said that one of the books he took out was for a friend, and then it dawned on him that that would be an act of kindness by picking out her favorite book.
