Think about someone in your life who has helped you.\xa0Perhaps a teacher helped you learn something new. Or a family member gave you a smile and a hug when you were having a rough day.\xa0When people help us out, it\u2019s nice to return the favor, by doing something helpful for them.

\n\n

But in this\xa0bonus edition of Circle Round, we\u2019ll meet a character who forgets about that last part, even though his helper saved his life!
