Once upon a time, in a cozy little town nestled between rolling hills and whispering woods, there lived a little angel named Lily. Lily was no ordinary angel. She had the softest, silkiest wings that shimmered like moonbeams, and her heart was as warm and bright as the sun. Every night, she would peek out from her tiny window in the sky and watch over the children of the town, making sure they had sweet dreams and felt safe.
One particularly quiet and starry night, Lily noticed something unusual. A faint glow was coming from the old, abandoned windmill at the edge of town. Curiosity tickled her like a gentle breeze, and she decided to take a closer look. With a flutter of her wings, she soared down to the ground, her heart beating with excitement.
As she approached the windmill, she saw that the glow was coming from a tiny, trembling light inside. She gently pushed open the creaky door and stepped inside. There, in the middle of the dusty floor, was a little girl named Emma, holding a flickering candle. Emma’s eyes were wide with fear, and her small hands clutched the candle tightly.
“Hello,” Lily whispered softly, her voice like a lullaby. “Don’t be afraid. I’m Lily, the little angel who watches over you all.”
Emma looked up, her eyes filling with wonder. “You’re an angel?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Yes, I am,” Lily replied with a gentle smile. “And I’m here to help you.”
Emma explained that she had wandered into the windmill while playing hide-and-seek with her friends. The door had shut behind her, and she couldn’t find her way out. The darkness had scared her, but the candle had given her a tiny bit of courage.
Lily listened carefully, her heart filled with compassion. “Emma, you’re braver than you think,” she said, her voice filled with warmth. “You found the courage to light that candle, even when you were scared. That’s true bravery.”
With a wave of her hand, Lily made the candle flame grow brighter, filling the room with a soft, comforting light. She then took Emma’s hand and led her through the maze of old gears and dusty corners until they reached the door. With a gentle push, the door swung open, and fresh air filled the room.
Emma’s face lit up with joy as she saw the familiar sight of her home. “Thank you, Lily,” she said, hugging the little angel tightly. “You made me feel safe when I was so scared.”
“You did it yourself, Emma,” Lily replied, her eyes twinkling like stars. “You just needed a little reminder of how strong you are.”
As Emma ran towards her home, Lily watched her with a heart full of happiness. She knew that every child had a spark of bravery inside them, waiting to be ignited.
From that night on, Emma never forgot her midnight adventure with the little angel. She shared the story with her friends, and they all felt a little braver knowing that Lily was watching over them.
And Lily continued to watch over the children of the town, her heart filled with love and pride. She knew that every child had the power to overcome their fears, and sometimes, all they needed was a gentle reminder.
So, dear children, remember that you are always stronger than you think. And if you ever feel scared or alone, just look up at the stars and know that Lily, the little angel, is always there, watching over you.
