Emma loved visiting her Grandma Ruby’s house, especially at night when the old lantern on the porch would glow in different colors. Some nights it was blue, other times golden, and sometimes, it twinkled like the stars.
“Grandma, why does your lantern change colors?” Emma asked, curling up beside her.
Grandma Ruby smiled. “Ah, my dear, this isn’t just any lantern. It glows with the stories of those who need to be remembered. Would you like to hear one?”
Emma nodded eagerly. Grandma tapped the lantern gently, and a soft light filled the air. Then, a tiny voice echoed through the porch.
“Once upon a time, a little girl named Ruby helped a lonely traveler find his way home…”
Emma gasped. “That’s you, Grandma!”
Grandma Ruby nodded. “Yes, dear. The traveler was lost in a storm, and I gave him shelter. In return, he gave me this lantern, saying it would forever shine with the kindness we share with others.”
Emma watched in awe as the lantern flickered, telling more tales of generosity, friendship, and courage. Each glow carried a new lesson, reminding Emma that even the smallest kindness could shine brightly in someone’s heart.
From that night on, Emma sat with Grandma Ruby, listening to the lantern’s stories, learning the importance of compassion and love.
