❤️The Golden Feather❤️
Once upon a time, in a quiet village nestled between emerald-green hills, lived a kind-hearted girl named Lina. She spent her days tending to her grandmother's tiny garden, where sunflowers danced with the wind. But Lina dreamed of adventures beyond the hills—of rivers that sang and forests that whispered secrets.
One evening, as the sky blushed pink, a wounded sparrow tumbled into the garden. Its wing was bent, and one feather shimmered—golden, unlike any Lina had seen. Gently, she wrapped the bird in cloth and whispered, "Rest now, little one."
To her surprise, the sparrow spoke: "Keep this golden feather, child. It holds magic—one wish, but only if your heart is pure." Then, it vanished into the twilight.
Lina clutched the feather, thoughts racing. Should she wish for riches? A grand house? But then she heard her grandmother's cough from inside—a sound that had grown worse each winter.
That night, under a sky dusted with stars, Lina closed her eyes and wished: "Heal my grandmother, forever." The feather dissolved into light, and by dawn, her grandmother's cheeks were rosy, her laughter like wind chimes.
Years later, travelers would speak of the village where no one fell ill, where sunflowers grew taller than anywhere else. And sometimes, if you listened closely, you'd hear a sparrow's song—a reminder that the purest wishes bloom from love.❤️
