The Enchanted Acorn
In a quaint village nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, lived a young girl named Lily. Lily was known throughout the village for her kind heart and love for all creatures, big and small. Her favorite place to visit was the old oak tree at the edge of the forest, which was said to be enchanted. One day, while exploring the woods, Lily discovered a tiny, shimmering acorn beneath the oak's sprawling branches. She picked it up with wonder in her eyes and felt a warm tingling sensation in her hand.
