Once upon a time, there was a small egg that washed up on the shore of a beautiful beach. It was picked up by a young girl who had never seen anything like it before. She took it home and decided to watch over it. After a few days, she was amazed to watch as the egg hatched, and a beautiful girl emerged from it.
She named the girl, Miracle.
Miracle was different from everyone else. For one thing, she had beautiful wings that sparkled in the sunlight. Miracle decided to explore the world and soon came across a stunning seashell. She loved it so much that she decided to keep it with her all the time.
However, on her journey, Miracle encountered an ogre who wanted to take the seashell from her. The girl refused, and in a rage, the ogre attacked her. She was able to fend him off, but during the fight, the seashell was lost into the sea.
Feeling sad and alone, Miracle flew over the sea, where she encountered a family of swallows and butterflies. They helped her understand that sometimes we lose things that are important to us, and we must move forward and find new things to treasure. They explained to her that the sea can be both stormy and calm, but it's always beautiful in its own way.
Miracle took their advice to heart and decided to keep looking at the beauty of the world. She discovered new treasures, made friends and learnt to enjoy life despite disappointments.
In the end, the girl realized that it wasn't the seashell that brought her happiness, but the memories and beautiful moments she had experienced while on her journey. From that day on, she lived every day with joy and wonder in her heart, never taking anything for granted and always treasuring the beauty of the present.
The moral of the story is, sometimes it takes losing something that we thought was vital to understand that other things can bring us joy. We should never take anything for granted and always appreciate what we have. Life is a journey, and finding happiness is always possible when we keep our hearts open to new experiences.
