Once upon a time, in a small village, lived a girl named Anna.

Anna loved exploring the nearby forest. She found it full of wonders.

One day, Anna discovered a small, shiny pebble. It glowed in her hand.

Suddenly, a tiny fairy named Fae appeared. She was as bright as the pebble.

"Hello, Anna," Fae said cheerfully. "Thank you for finding my magic pebble!"

Anna was surprised. She never talked to a fairy before. "You're welcome," she said.

"This pebble helps me stay bright," Fae explained. "Would you like to be friends?"

Anna's face lit up. "I'd love to!" she replied. And so they became friends.

Every day, Anna and Fae went on adventures. They laughed and learned together.

Anna showed Fae the village, and Fae showed Anna secret forest paths.

Their friendship grew stronger with each adventure. They were best friends.

Anna knew that friendship was the greatest magic of all.
