Story Details

This is NianNian — with bright, kind eyes, He wonders about faith that never dies. He wears his crown and says with cheer, “That church ahead — I must go near!”

He walks inside, where candles glow, And gentle bells ring soft and low.

He sees a statue with open arms, As if to hug the world with calm.

A friendly nun with smiling grace, Shows him the Bible, page by page.

She says, “Jesus taught us love, To live with joy, and peace above.”

He folds his hands, sits quiet and still, His heart grows warm — a gentle thrill.

He asks, “What if someone makes me sad?” She smiles, “Forgiving makes hearts glad.”

He writes, “To love is light that glows, To truly listen — strength that shows.”

He draws a dove and cross so wide, To give a friend, with joy and pride.

“I’ve learned to love, forgive, and care. I’m NianNian — kindness everywhere!”
