A story about Love
for your 3rd Grader.
Bolda the Bright stood at the edge of her Viking village, gazing at the cliffs and frothy waves. She felt excitement in her chest whenever she thought about exploring the unknown.
Early one morning, Bolda the Bright learned that the legendary Heartstone had vanished. She believed it was the source of love and courage for everyone in the village.
The lost map was decorated with swirling patterns, each one shaped like small hearts. Tiny runes sparkled around its edges.
Bolda the Bright decided she must find the Heartstone before sadness filled the village. She packed her bag, grabbed her axe for protection, and set out at sunrise.
As Bolda the Bright trekked through the forest, she remembered a tip an elder had given her: a caring heart can open more doors than a sharp axe. This reminded her to stay kind, even if her quest seemed tough.
Hiking up the stony path, Bolda the Bright heard grumbles and growls. A group of trolls stood in the narrow pass, blocking her way. She trembled but thought about love and courage, hoping it would guide her.
A line of runic stones glowed across the narrow path, each carved with ancient symbols of caring. They flickered like fireflies in the early evening light.
Bolda the Bright took a deep breath and greeted the trolls. “I come in peace,” she said. The trolls grunted, unsure whether to trust her.
