राहुल wandered through the dense greenery, his mind filled with tales of magic and adventure. As he kicked at the fallen leaves, his eyes caught a sudden glimmer—a radiant stone nestled among the roots. Intrigued, राहुल picked it up, feeling its warmth seep into his fingers. He smiled, pocketing the stone as if it were a treasure from one of his grandmother's stories.
That night, as the moonlight filtered through the curtains, राहुल sat cross-legged on his bed, the stone resting in his palm. Suddenly, a brilliant blue light filled the room, and he gasped in awe as a graceful figure appeared. परी चांदनी, her wings shimmering like starlight, smiled gently at him. "नमस्ते, मैं परी चांदनी हूँ। यह पत्थर जादुई है। यह तुम्हें तीन इच्छाएँ दे सकता है।"
राहुल's heart raced with excitement. "मैं चाहता हूँ कि मैं उड़ सकूँ," he declared, his imagination soaring. Instantly, delicate wings sprouted from his back. With a joyful laugh, he leaped from his window, the world unfolding beneath him as he soared among the clouds, the city lights twinkling like distant stars.
Returning to his room, राहुल felt the thrill of his first wish fading. He turned to परी चांदनी and wished for a mountain of toys. His room transformed into a wonderland of playthings, and for a moment, he was lost in the sheer joy of it all. But soon, silence crept in, and राहुल realized that something was missing.
Alone amidst his treasures, राहुल felt a pang of loneliness. He looked at परी चांदनी with understanding dawning in his eyes. "मैं चाहता हूँ कि मेरी सभी इच्छाएँ वापस ले ली जाएं," he said softly, realizing the true cost of his desires. परी चांदनी nodded, her expression wise and kind, as the toys vanished and his wings disappeared.
राहुल thanked परी चांदनी for the lesson, his heart lighter with understanding. "सच्ची खुशी जादुई चीजों में नहीं, बल्कि अपने दोस्तों और परिवार के साथ समय बिताने में होती है," she reminded him before fading into the night. As राहुल lay awake in the darkness, he knew he had found a treasure far more valuable than any wish—a newfound appreciation for the simple joys of life.
