There was a situation where a grandparent's friend was a gardener. The grandchild was always curious about plants but had a small yard at home. The friend invited the grandchild to their large garden, taught them about different plants, how to plant seeds, and take care of them. They spent many afternoons together, and the grandchild learned a lot about nature.
One story could be that a grandparent's friend was an artist. The grandchild was really interested in art but lacked confidence. The friend took the time to encourage the grandchild, showed them different techniques, and even let the child use some of their expensive art supplies. This led to the grandchild developing a great passion for art and winning a local art competition.
