About This Story
Tonight's story is called Riyaadh and the Little Charity Box. When Riyaadh's father gives him his very own charity box, Riyaadh is excited — until he realizes it means giving away things that are actually his. At Charity Square, he meets a family who has very little, and Riyaadh must decide whether to keep his favorite honey-date or place it in the box instead. Along the way, he learns that giving isn't about having extra to spare — it's about opening your hand even when it's hard. By the end, Riyaadh discovers that nothing feels warmer than watching someone else smile because of something he gave.
