Once upon a time in a kingdom far and wide, a kind-hearted princess named Cinderella, with a locket that gleamed and shined. But one gloomy day, she lost her precious locket, her happiness adrift like a forgotten pocket.
With a swoosh and a swish, she went on a quest, to seek her locket so she could rest. Through forests and fields, she merrily skipped, her determination never ever dipped.
Suddenly a snicker and a snare, she found her locket with a bear! The bear was goofy and surprisingly kind, having picked it up just to play and find.
As she thanked the bear and hugged it tight, a burst of laughter filled the bright daylight. Cinderella realized in her heart, happiness comes not from things but from those who play a part.
Together they danced, a waltz so grand, across the meadow, hand in hand. The locket sparkled, but what truly shone, was the friendship and love they had sewn.
Back in the kingdom, she shared her tale, of how friendship and love always prevail. The townsfolk cheered and hugged so tight, a joyous celebration, oh what a delight!
