The Lonely House
On a snowy evening, a small house stood at the edge of a quiet forest. Its only light came from a single candle in the window, flickering softly. Inside the house, a young boy with short dark hair, wearing a red sweater and blue pants, stared out the window, hoping for his parents to return from the village.
The Candle In The Window Speaks
As the boy sighed, the candle’s flame flickered brighter. Suddenly, the candle spoke in a soft, warm voice. “Why do you look so sad?” The boy was startled but replied, “I miss my family. They’re not home yet.” The candle said, “Perhaps I can guide them back to you.”
The Journey of Light
The candle’s flame grew brighter and floated out of the house, casting a golden path through the snowy forest. The boy, now wearing a thick green coat, a woolen scarf, and mittens, followed the glowing trail, feeling warmth in the cold night.
The Lost Travelers
Deeper in the forest, the boy found two travelers—a man and a woman dressed in heavy cloaks and boots, huddled under a tree. They looked worried but smiled when the glowing flame led the boy to them. “We were lost in the snow,” they said.
Reunited With The Candle In The Window
The boy recognized the travelers as his parents. “The candle guided me to you!” he exclaimed. The parents hugged him tightly, thanking the mysterious light for reuniting them. Snow began to fall gently around them, and the forest seemed warmer.
The Candle’s Glow Returns
The family followed the glowing candle in the window back to their house. The candle’s flame returned to its place in the window, glowing brighter than ever. The house was filled with warmth and love as the family sat together, sharing stories by the fire.
The Candle In The Window Message
Before the family went to sleep, the candle’s flame flickered one last time and whispered, “Love and respect will always guide you home.” The boy smiled and placed the candle carefully on the windowsill, promising to always keep its light alive.
