Elias, adorned in his long, flowing robe, made his way through the chatter and found himself standing before the two women. "Tell me, fair maidens, what seems to be the problem?" he asked politely. The two women began to speak simultaneously, their voices rising in an angry chorus. However, Elias raised his hand, signaling them to stop. "One at a time, please," he said gently.

The first woman, named Ava, stepped forward. "Elias, I have always been a dutiful and honest woman. I would never wish harm upon anyone," she declared with conviction. Elias listened intently, his wise eyes fixed upon Ava. He noticed that in her words, the vowels lived harmoniously, each sound blending seamlessly with one another. There was a pureness to her voice, almost like a melody.

Next, the second woman, named Bella, stepped forward. "Elias, do not be deceived! Ava may sound virtuous, but she is full of deceit. She cares not for others and only seeks to claim what she believes is rightfully hers," Bella exclaimed, her voice filled with bitterness. Once again, Elias listened intently. As Bella spoke, he detected a harshness in her vowels, as if they were clashing against one another. The vowels seemed disconnected, like a discordant symphony.

Elias pondered for a moment, then raised his hand, signaling the villagers to gather around. "Dear villagers," he began, "In this tale of separation, it is clear to me that Ava's words resonate with a genuine and compassionate spirit. Her vowels symbolize harmony and honesty. On the other hand, Bella's vowels seem to clash, reflecting an inner dissonance." The villagers nodded in agreement, for they too had noticed the truth in Elias' words. The dispute over the land was settled, and Ava was awarded what was rightfully hers. Grateful for Elias' wisdom, the villagers celebrated with a grand feast, honoring both Ava's virtue and Elias' ability to discern it.

From that day onward, Elias continued to use his gift of separating the vowels to help those in need. His reputation spread far beyond the village, and people from all walks of life sought his counsel. And so, dear child, remember this tale of separation. Just as Elias discovered the virtues and vices hidden within the vowels, may you always strive to speak with kindness and truth in your own words. For it is through the power of our vowels that our virtues shine brightest. Goodnight, little one, and may your dreams be filled with melodies of love and compassion.
