In a small, forgotten village nestled between mountains, there lived an old carp

In a small, forgotten village nestled between mountains, there lived an old carpenter named Elias. Every day, he would work tirelessly in his little shop, creating beautiful wooden toys for the children in the village. Though he had no family of his own, the laughter of the children as they played with his creations filled his heart with joy. One winter, a terrible storm swept through the village, leaving it in ruins. But when the villagers returned to rebuild, they found that the only building left standing was Elias's shop, filled with toys. The children’s laughter, preserved in those tiny wooden figures, became a beacon of hope, reminding everyone that even in the darkest times, the smallest acts of kindness can light the way.
