جزئیات داستان

Captain Miller loved his silver compass. It always pointed north. But on Christmas morning, something was wrong.

The needle shook and shivered when he looked at his office. It spun like a tiny dancer!

But when he turned toward the orphanage, the needle was still. It pointed straight and true.

Captain Miller blinked. He followed the compass.

The compass pulled him! It wanted him to visit the orphanage. So he went. He saw children sitting all quiet.

Their eyes looked sad. The compass glowed. It pulled him toward a big book of stories.

Then, it pointed at a little girl. She had no one to read to her. Captain Miller cleared his throat.

He picked up the book. He started to read in a loud, happy voice.

The next day, the compass wiggled. It wiggled toward the orphanage again.

This time, the children were painting. No one was laughing. The compass hummed. It pulled him to a box of bright crayons.

Then, it pointed at a boy. The boy’s picture was not finished. Captain Miller began to draw. He made a funny monster. The boy giggled.

The day after that, the compass vibrated! It vibrated toward the orphanage. The children were playing dress-up.

But they were not having fun. The compass twinkled. It pulled him to a silly hat. Then, it pointed at a girl. She needed a friend to play with.

Captain Miller put on the hat. He made a funny face. The girl laughed out loud.

The compass stopped shaking. It just pointed at the happy children. It had found its true north.
