Halo's Kindness Chart Becomes Too Complicated

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

Halo designed a chart to track good deeds. It required six colors, three stamps, and a small explanation of each stamp.

A classmate asked for help carrying a box. Halo said certainly, just after completing the pre-help section.

By the time the form was ready, somebody else had carried the box.

The chart recorded a missed opportunity in orange.

Professor Fluff examined the system and asked whether it was helping Halo help.

Halo considered the question while sharpening the tracking pencil.

That afternoon, the chart was replaced with one small note: notice, ask, help.

There was suddenly time to do things.

At day's end, Halo could not produce an impressive graph, but several classmates had lighter loads.

The professor awarded no stamp. Halo found, to great surprise, that this did not reduce the satisfaction.
