Story Summary

A story about a telescope that can see the kindness in others.

In a small town in the UK, there lived a little boy named Tom. Tom was a kind but somewhat lonely child, and he was always eager to discover the hidden beauty around him. One day, while playing in the attic, Tom found an old dusty box. When he opened the box, there was a peculiarly - shaped telescope inside. This was the magic telescope.

Tom picked up the telescope and looked out of the window curiously. Through the telescope, the world he saw became different. The usually grumpy baker in the town, through the telescope, turned into a gentle and kind - hearted person. He saw the baker secretly giving some bread to the stray dogs on the street and gently stroking the puppies' heads with a loving look on his face.

Tom looks at the town through the telescope

Tom continued to explore the town with the telescope. He saw that the big brother in the neighbor's house who didn't like to talk often went to help an old grandma clean the yard at night. The old grandma was not in good health, and the big brother always did these things silently without asking for anything in return. Tom also saw that the mischievous classmate at school actually put the little bird that had fallen on the ground back into its nest when no one was around, and his cautious look was full of love.

Tom was full of surprises in his heart. He began to look at the people around him in a different way. He was no longer afraid of those seemingly strict adults, nor did he dislike those little friends who had occasional small flaws. He found that actually everyone had a kind side, but sometimes it was hidden.

Tom shares the telescope

Tom wanted to share this amazing discovery with everyone. He brought the telescope to school and let his classmates look through it one by one. The classmates were all astonished when they saw those kind - hearted scenes that they had never discovered before. The classmates who had some contradictions before began to understand and help each other because of this telescope. The whole town also became more warm and beautiful because of this magic telescope. The relationships between people were more harmonious and full of laughter. And Tom was no longer lonely. He had a lot of friends, and everyone worked together to discover more beauty in life.
