Pippin and the Enchanted Lighthouse

Once upon a time, in a small village by the sea, there lived a curious little girl named Pippin. Pippin loved exploring and going on adventures. One day, while playing near the beach, she noticed a tall lighthouse standing proudly on a nearby cliff. It was no ordinary lighthouse; it was said to be enchanted!

But Sammy warned Pippin that the lighthouse's magic could only be activated by solving three riddles. Pippin accepted the challenge, determined to prove her wit. With each riddle she solved, the lighthouse glowed brighter and brighter.
