A 4 year old Girl Scout in Lusaka, Zambia says,
"Compassion is like when someone is hurt badly and you are sad [about them], then you give them something [what they need] - that is compassion....When I saw a cat almost get hit by a car I wished I could help it!! We can feel compassion for a person or an animal!"
