The Glowing Garden

Once upon a time, in a bright and lively village, there was a small, cozy house where Lily and her younger brother Tom lived with their parents. They spent their days playing in their magical garden, which was full of shimmering flowers and talking animals.

One day, while playing hide and seek, Lily and Tom overheard two sparrows chatting. 'The secret to this garden's glow,' chirped the first sparrow, 'is the love and respect Lily and Tom show for their mom and dad.'

Curious, Lily asked, 'Does our love really make the garden shine?' The second sparrow nodded and replied, 'Yes! Each time you listen to your parents and help them with joy, the flowers bloom brighter than before.'

Tom wondered aloud, 'What if we forget to be kind or make a mistake?' The first sparrow explained, 'Everyone makes mistakes, but saying sorry and trying to do better keeps the garden happy.'

The children decided to test what they had learned. They helped their parents without being asked, treated everyone with kindness, and sure enough, the garden glowed with an extraordinary light that evening.

As the stars twinkled above, the children's father shared a special phrase with them, 'God tells us to respect our parents, and tonight, we've seen how powerful that can be.' And under the starry sky, the magic of the glowing garden and the love of a family were both shining brightly.
