Joy's Sad Day

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Joy. He lived in a small house with his family. Even though he had everything he needed, Joy always felt sad at home. He didn't know why.

Joy loved playing with his friends at school. They would go on exciting adventures and have so much fun. But when he came back home, the sadness would return.

One day, Joy decided to talk to his mom about how he was feeling. He told her that he was always sad at home, even though he didn't understand why. His mom listened carefully and hugged him tightly. She said, 'Joy, sometimes we all have ups and downs. It's okay to feel sad, but let's try to find ways to make our home a happier place.'

Joy also learned that sometimes, sadness can be a sign that we need help. His mom encouraged him to talk to his teacher, who could also offer support. Joy felt relieved knowing that he had people who cared for him.
