A story about Kindness
for your 4th Grader.
Luna Lighthug was no ordinary vampire, for she sparkled under the moon’s glow and felt a cheerful flutter in her heart whenever she gazed at the misty Highlands. She had a gentle smile and eager eyes, always searching for hidden wonders in the night.
Far below the still surface of a deep loch, Nessie Sparkles, a curious creature with a shimmering tail, rose from the waves. With a friendly call, she invited others to explore the Highlands at her side, hoping to discover secrets unknown.
Few knew about the grumpy troll who cast a strange spell over the Highlands, stealing the laughter of the locals. This grouchy fellow clutched a riddle scroll, determined to keep joy locked away.
Late one evening, Luna Lighthug hovered by a silent village, wondering why no giggles or songs drifted from the tiny cottages. She sensed something amiss, so she fluttered closer to see if her warm spirit could help.
High in a hidden cove, Nessie Sparkles glided between glowing rocks, searching for clues. The friendly monster wanted to do more than swim; she hoped to unravel the mystery that made everyone so gloomy.
When the troll heard footsteps on the winding path, he stomped his foot and scowled at the thought of intruders. He refused to let anyone break the silence he had created, yet the faint sound of determination filled the empty air.
Luna Lighthug discovered a crumpled note on a mossy stone, which read, “Kindness is the key to reversing all sorrow.” Quietly, she recalled how a simple kind word could sometimes brighten even the darkest hearts.
In the cool night air, Nessie Sparkles swam closer to the village, determined to find a way inside the troll’s hidden lair. She believed that one caring act would bring color back to this silent place.
