Annabelle is a young apprentice witch. She lives by a swamp. She has a bright magic stone. One morning she wakes and sees it is gone. She feels sad. She needs the stone. She sets out to find it. The swamp is deep. Moss drips from tall trees. Lily pads float on still water. Tiny fish swim below. Birds sing soft songs. Annabelle steps on a log. She hums a happy tune. She calls the name of her stone. She searches near reeds. She searches near wet roots. She searches under green ferns. She finds no stone. She feels her heart beat fast. She thinks she is lost. She sits on a soft rock. She feels a gentle touch. She looks up and sees Spellcaster. Spellcaster is a small frog wizard. He wears a bright blue hat. He has kind eyes. He speaks in a soft voice. He says I will help you. Annabelle smiles wide. They hop on lily pads. They sing a gentle song. They search together. They look near a log house made by turtles. They look by a stone arch. They hear a rumble. They hide behind a big tree trunk. A friendly ogre appears. The ogre is tall and wide. He has green skin and a deep voice. He says hello little ones. He says I am a kind ogre. Annabelle feels relief. Spellcaster nods. The ogre asks what they need. Annabelle says I lost my magic stone. The ogre thinks a moment. He says I found something shiny near that rock. Annabelle and Spellcaster run there. They see the bright magic stone on the log. Annabelle gasps. She picks it up with joy. The stone glows warm in her hand. She hugs it gently. Annabelle thanks the ogre. She thanks Spellcaster. They all laugh. The ogre smiles and waves. Spellcaster does a little dance. Annabelle uses her stone to make small sparkles fly. She lights up the swamp at night. The fireflies glow brighter. She feels happy and brave. She learned she can ask for help. She learned friends can be found in the swamp. She learned that sharing kindness fills the heart. Annabelle returns home safe. She keeps her stone in her bag. She says good night to the swamp. She drifts into sweet dreams. The moon shines soft light on calm dark water. Stars twinkle high above the quiet woods. Gentle frogs croak a lullaby tune softly. Fireflies dance around like floating stars. Annabelle feels safe with her bright stone. She holds it close to her little heart. She thinks about her kind new friends. She smiles at the gentle ogre and frog. She dreams of more kind magic days. The swamp is her home with warm friends. She hears a soft breeze through the trees. She feels a calm wave of happy thoughts. She knows she is brave and caring. Tomorrow she will explore new paths. She will cast sparkles for all to see. She will share her magic to help others. She will hug her stone and say good morning. She will remember the simple song they sang. She will greet the sun with a happy laugh. And then she drifts into a cozy dream. The swamp sleeps under a starry sky. Annabelle holds her magic stone tight. She whispers good night to her friends. Tomorrow brings new bright joy!
