Once upon a time, in a small village in Japan, there was a little boy named Ken. It was New Year's Day and Ken received his first お年玉, a special red envelope with a surprise gift inside.

Excited, Ken carefully opened the envelope and found some money inside. His eyes sparkled with joy as he thought about all the things he could buy with it.

Ken thought about the responsibility of using the money wisely. He decided he would save some of it, use a little to buy something for himself, and share a portion with those less fortunate.

With his saved money, Ken bought a new soccer ball. He invited his friends to play, and they all had a great time. Ken felt happy seeing the joy his gift brought to others.

Ken also decided to donate some of his money to a local charity. He helped buy school supplies for children who couldn't afford them. Seeing the smiles on their faces made him feel proud.

As the year went by, Ken learned that the true value of お年玉 wasn't just in receiving the gift, but in using it to bring happiness to himself and others. He felt like a little hero!

And so, every New Year's Day, Ken continued to receive お年玉, and he continued to use it to make a positive difference in the world, spreading joy and kindness wherever he went.
