In the center of the clearing, she found a sparkling fountain with water that glowed like stars.Beside the fountain stood a friendly fairy named Grace, with wings that shimmered like rainbows. Grace greeted Emma with a warm smile and explained that the fountain was enchanted. She said, "The water from this fountain grants wishes, but only those with a kind heart."Emma was amazed and decided to make a wish to bring joy to her village. She closed her eyes and wished for a bountiful harvest to help her neighbors. When she opened her eyes, the fountain water glowed even brighter, and Emma knew her wish had been granted.Excitedly, she rushed back to her village to share the good news with everyone.
