Waiting for the school bus in the morning can take a while, especially if there is nowhere to sit. Two teachers in Florida, Maren and David Douglass, noticed a young girl sitting on the dusty ground right at the end of their driveway while she waited for her bus.

The couple wanted to help make her mornings a little brighter. One day, they carried a cozy bench out to the curb just for her. They also left a friendly note telling her the seat was all hers to use.

the couple's door camera caught the girl's reaction the next morning. When she saw the new bench, she was so excited that she jumped for joy! Now she has a clean, comfy spot to rest every day before school starts. It goes to show how a simple act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day.
