49. An Even Better Birthday Party

Having a child who's disabled can be difficult. They're too young to understand that they're different, and they don't know why other children their own age won't always be happy to spend time around them. That was the case for this little boy, who has autism. He was having a birthday party, and all of his classmates from school were invited, but none of them turned up. His mother didn't know what to do and posted on social media to see if anyone could step in and make sure her son's day wasn't ruined. And then people became wonderful.

The local firefighters turned up, with their fire engine, and let him sit in the driver's seat. The local police turned up to say hello and brought gifts. Parents who lived locally came around and brought their own children for him to play with, and suddenly his birthday went from being the worst to the very best.
