In a small village overlooked by rolling hills, there existed a fountain. Its waters sparkled under the sun.
Legend said the fountain granted good luck, but no one knew how. The villagers often wondered.
Mia, a young girl with a sense of adventure, was determined to find out the truth of the fountain's magic.
She watched as villagers tossed coins, hoping for fortune. Yet, Mia noticed some seemed no luckier.
One crisp morning, Mia approached the fountain with a coin in her hand. She hesitated, pondering.
Instead of tossing it in for herself, she gave her coin to a beggar. That day, her heart felt full.
The next day, Mia helped an elderly neighbor carry water. She felt a warmth like the sun's embrace.
Mia realized actions for others brought her joy. Could this be the true fortune of the fountain?
The villagers noticed Mia's happiness and began to follow her lead, helping one another.
The village transformed. Laughter filled the air, and neighbors became friends, sharing good fortune.
Mia sat by the fountain, watching the community, understanding that fortune flowed from the heart.
And so, the fountain, once merely stone and water, became a symbol of the village's shared kindness.
