In a peaceful town, Lucy played in the golden fields, laughing under the sun.

One day, a group of shadows appeared, scaring Lucy's friends away.

Lucy felt a flutter in her chest but stood firm, facing the dark figures.

She remembered her mom saying, 'Be kind and strong, no matter what comes.'

Taking a deep breath, Lucy spoke in a clear voice, 'Please leave us alone.'

To her surprise, the shadows stopped, puzzled by her brave stance.

She continued, 'This is our home. We don't want any trouble.'

The tallest shadow spoke, 'We didn't realize. We'll find another way.'

Lucy watched as they turned away, relief and pride filling her heart.

Her friends returned and they played until the stars came out to shine.

Lucy knew that kindness and strength had saved the day, feeling thankful.

As night fell, Lucy fell asleep, dreams full of golden fields and laughter.
