When a little girl noticed her neighbor had a basketball hoop in their driveway, she really wanted to put it to use, so she left a polite note at the door asking if she could. The person responded in the most neighborly way, and it\u2019s warming our hearts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In\u00a0her letter, the girl, named Emma, shared that she\u2019d tried to ask permission in person on a few occasions, but she missed them each time. So she took the most wholesome second approach and left a classic \u201ccheck yes or no\u201d card.<\/p>\n

Little Girl\u2019s Note to Neighbor Earned a Short and Sweet Reply<\/h3>\n

\u201cDear neighbor,\u201d she wrote in the note on a plain white card. \u201cMy name is Emma and I live across the street at 1659. Would it be ok if I shot some hoops on your b-ball hoop after school some days?\u201d<\/p>\n

The neighbor gladly gave her free rein of the hoop, and after checking \u201cyes,\u201d he told Emma to \u201cHave Fun!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The sweet exchange may seem simple, but it\u2019s proof that small gestures have big meanings. Be sure to\u00a0share<\/strong>\u00a0this story to remind people that kindness does exist.<\/p>\n
