Lina was an adventurous girl who lived in a quiet village beside a deep forest. One sunny afternoon, she found a tiny wooden box lying near an old mango tree. The box was beautifully carved with pictures of stars and moons. Curious, Lina picked it up and tried to open it, but it wouldn’t move.
That evening, she showed the box to her grandfather. He smiled and told her a story. Many years ago, the villagers believed that this forest was protected by a friendly spirit who left magical gifts for brave children. “Maybe,” her grandfather whispered, “this box is waiting for the right person to discover its secret.”
Determined to solve the mystery, Lina took the box back to the mango tree the next morning. She gently placed it on the ground. Suddenly, the box began to glow softly. It slowly opened by itself and revealed a small silver key. With it was a tiny note that read: “The key to courage is already within you.”
Lina didn’t fully understand the message, but she felt stronger and braver than before. She knew the forest had accepted her courage, and she walked home with a big smile, holding the magical key tightly in her hand.
