The first person to answer this will get 20 points but if you do not answer this question today you will not get 20 points you will only get 10 because a person with kindness should get these points. Also if YOU GIVE A LINK YOU WILL NOT GET POINTS because a person like that does not earn them. Hopefully to the person who reads this your day be filled with joy.
