Lucy loved visiting her Grandma Maple’s house. It smelled of cinnamon cookies, and every corner had something magical. But her favorite thing was Grandma’s old teapot, which sat on the kitchen shelf, shimmering under the sunlight.
“Grandma, why do you keep this old teapot?” Lucy asked one day.
Grandma Maple chuckled. “Because, dear, this teapot has a secret. If you listen carefully, it tells stories from the past.”
Lucy’s eyes widened. “A talking teapot?”
Grandma nodded. “Only to those who believe. Would you like to hear one?”
Lucy eagerly nodded. Grandma poured warm chamomile tea into two cups, then gently tapped the teapot’s lid. A soft hum filled the air, and then, to Lucy’s amazement, a tiny voice spoke.
“Once, many years ago, a little girl named Maple found a lost bird with a broken wing…”
Lucy gasped. “That’s you, Grandma!”
Grandma smiled. “Yes, dear. I nursed the little bird back to health, and when it flew away, it returned every spring to sing outside my window. That’s how I learned kindness always finds its way back.”
Lucy sipped her tea, mesmerized. “Does the teapot have more stories?”
“Many,” Grandma said. “And each one holds a lesson.”
From that day on, Lucy eagerly listened to the teapot’s tales, learning the importance of kindness, honesty, and courage. She knew that Grandma’s teapot wasn’t just magical—it was a keeper of wisdom.
Moral of the Story: Kindness and good deeds always return in unexpected ways.
