Title: The Candle of Hope

In a quiet town called Brushville, lived a young girl named Salma who had a heart full of dreams and hands skilled in sewing. Since childhood, she had been fascinated by fashion. While others saw old clothes as useless, she saw them as hidden treasures waiting to be reborn.

One day, the mayor announced a contest: design a dress that represents the beauty and spirit of the town. The winning design would be featured at the National Fashion Showcase. Salma wanted to enter, but she had no new fabric to work with.

Determined not to give up, she searched her grandmother’s attic and found scraps of cloth in seven different colors — red from an old dress, blue from a scarf, yellow from a curtain, and more. Each piece carried a memory, a story, a feeling.

She stitched the fabric into a stunning rainbow dress — not just beautiful in color, but rich in meaning. When she presented it at the contest, the room fell silent. The judges saw not only style, but soul.

Salma won first prize. Her design was praised across the country, and soon she opened her own fashion studio. Yet, she never forgot the lesson that started it all: creativity is not about having more, but seeing more in what you already have.
