In the little town of Mosswood, there was a witch named Wendy who loved birthdays more than anything.
Wendy's own birthday was today, and she decided to do something special for the children of the town.
She mixed a joyful potion and flew on her broom to hide birthday presents around the town square.
The children found notes leading to Wendy's hidden gifts, and their excitement filled the air.
With each found present, the children would cheer, but little Sam was too shy to join the fun.
Wendy noticed Sam's reluctance and gently encouraged him with a special clue just for him.
Sam's eyes sparkled as he unwrapped the gift, finding a small, enchanted frog that could sing.
The frog's melody was heartwarming, and soon Sam was laughing and singing along with his new friend.
Seeing Sam's happiness, the other children cheered him on, inviting him to play together.
Wendy felt a warmth in her heart as she saw the children's kindness and Sam's new-found courage.
The day became a joyous celebration of friendship, magic, and the power of a caring community.
As the sun set, Wendy flew back home, knowing the best birthday gift was the happiness she'd created.
