Kasia's New Home

One cozy evening, as the sun faded away, Jeff and Sarah cooked dinner in their lovely home. "Mom, what's for dinner?" asked Eric, his eyes shining. "It's spaghetti with tomato sauce!" Sarah replied with a smile. Suddenly, a knock came at the door. "Who could that be?" wondered Laila as she opened it. There stood a frail woman named Kasia, looking tired and scared. "Help, please! I need a place to stay because of an explosion in my neighborhood!" she begged.

Jeff and Sarah exchanged worried glances. "Of course, you can stay with us!" Jeff said warmly. Kasia's eyes lit up. "Thank you so much! I will help with dinner!" she replied happily. Together, they all laughed and cooked. Kasia shared stories of her homeland while they ate. The house filled with soft sounds of joy and kindness. Jeff's family welcomed Kasia with open arms, realizing they had found a new friend.

After dinner, Eric showed Kasia his favorite toy cars. 'You can play with me!' he giggled, handing her a bright red car. Kasia smiled, feeling warmth fill her heart. 'This is fun!' she said, making the car zoom around the table. Meanwhile, Laila brought down her coloring books, eager to share them too. 'We can color together!' she beamed.

As the evening went on, the Harrington family gathered in the living room. Jeff played the guitar softly, and they all sang songs. Kasia listened, then joined in, her voice blending sweetly with theirs. 'I feel like I'm home,' she whispered, wiping a happy tear. Sarah gave her a gentle hug, assuring her she was now part of their family.

That night, under the twinkling stars, Kasia lay in a cozy bed, feeling safe and happy. 'Goodnight, Kasia!' the children called from their rooms. 'Goodnight, my dear friends,' Kasia replied with a soft smile. The Harrington house was filled with love and laughter, and Kasia knew she had found a place where she belonged.
