Little Angel lives in a bright castle. She is a small girl with a kind heart. She loves to explore every room. One day she walks down a long hallway. Soft light glows around her. She hears a gentle voice calling, "Little Angel, come this way." It is her Guardian Spirit. The Guardian Spirit looks like a tiny glowing friend. It is gentle and soft. It smiles at her and nods. Little Angel is curious. She follows the glowing friend. They walk past tall pillars. They see a small door with a golden keyhole. The Guardian Spirit points at the keyhole. Little Angel remembers. She lost a shiny shell yesterday. She kept it in a small box by that door. Now she hopes the shell is safe. Little Angel holds the Guardian Spirit’s hand. She turns the little golden key in the door. It clicks and swings open. Inside they find a wooden box. The box is closed. The Guardian Spirit taps it. The lid opens with a soft creak. Little Angel looks inside. She sees her shiny shell. The shell glows softly like a tiny moon. Little Angel picks it up. She hugs it close. She feels warm and happy. This shell is her treasure. She wanted it for her special collection. She thanks the Guardian Spirit. Suddenly a bright shape appears at the end of the hall. It is the Crystal Guardian. The Crystal Guardian is tall and made of clear gemstone. It watches Little Angel and the Spirit. It says, "No one may take what lies here." Little Angel looks at the Crystal Guardian. She feels a little scared. But her Guardian Spirit stands close. It shines brightly around her. Little Angel breathes out and thinks of kindness. She smiles at the Crystal Guardian. "Please," she says softly. "This shell is mine. It is precious to me. I lost it and now I found it again." The Crystal Guardian tilts its head. It watches her gentle eyes. The Guardian Spirit surrounds Little Angel with a warm glow. The Crystal Guardian’s gemstone surface shimmers. Then it steps aside and bows its head. "You are brave and kind," it says. "You may take your shell." Little Angel’s heart fills with joy. She waves to the Crystal Guardian and thanks it. Then she skips back down the hall. The Guardian Spirit flies beside her. They reach the sunny courtyard. Little Angel holds her shell up to the sky. It sparkles in the sun. The birds sing and the flowers dance. Little Angel laughs with delight. She places the shell in her treasure box on a soft cushion of silk. She feels proud and happy. She learned that courage and kindness can open even the hardest doors. Then Little Angel and her Guardian Spirit dance together under the castle towers. They dance until the sun goes down. And every night, Little Angel falls asleep with her shell by her pillow. She dreams of more gentle adventures in her bright castle.
