The Little Lantern

The Little Lantern

Once upon a time, in a small village at the edge of a dense forest, there lived a kind-hearted boy named Liam. Every evening, he would carry a little lantern to help the villagers find their way home when darkness fell.

One stormy night, as rain poured heavily, Liam noticed an elderly woman struggling to cross the muddy path. Without hesitation, he ran to her, holding his lantern high to light the way.

The woman smiled warmly. “Thank you, dear child. You have a pure heart. Take this.” She handed him a tiny, glowing stone. “This will guide you whenever you feel lost.”

From that day on, Liam’s lantern shone brighter than ever. But even when the stone’s glow faded, his kindness continued to light the hearts of everyone in the village.

And so, the boy with the little lantern became a symbol of hope, showing that even the smallest light can shine brightly in the darkest times.
