Brave Benny and the Magic Mirror

In a bright, colorful village, lived a little dragon named Benny. He loved his cozy cave, filled with his favorite shiny pebbles and a warm, mossy bed. But one sunny morning, his parents told him, "Benny, it's time for a new adventure! We're moving to a new cave!"

Benny's tummy fluttered like a nervous butterfly. A new cave? What if it wasn't as cozy? What if he didn't like it? As he packed his favorite pebble, he decided to take a walk in the whispering forest to clear his head.

Deep in the forest, hidden behind a curtain of shimmering vines, Benny stumbled upon something extraordinary. It was a tall, ancient mirror, its frame carved with swirling patterns, glowing with a soft, inviting light.

“Who’s that?” he whispered, peering closer at his reflection. The mirror sparkled even brighter, and a gentle voice echoed, “That’s Brave Benny! You can do anything you set your mind to!”

A warm feeling spread through Benny's chest. Brave Benny? He liked the sound of that! With newfound confidence, he decided his first new thing would be to fly higher than he ever had before.

Up, up, up he soared, past the tallest trees and fluffy white clouds. The wind tickled his scales, and the world below looked like a colorful patchwork quilt. He giggled with delight!

Back on the ground, Benny spotted a tiny, colorful bird with bright blue feathers hopping nervously near a berry bush. "Hello!" chirped Benny, remembering the mirror's words. "My name is Benny. Would you like to share some berries?"

The little bird, whose name was Pip, chirped happily and hopped closer. Soon, Benny and Pip were sharing berries and telling jokes, becoming the best of friends. Making new friends wasn't so scary after all!

As the sun began to set, Benny found a sparkling, rainbow-colored geode hidden under a mossy log. It was the most beautiful treasure he'd ever seen! He smiled, thinking of the magic mirror. Each time he thought of the mirror, it seemed to glow brighter in his mind.

Benny returned to his new cave, which felt surprisingly cozy and welcoming. He realized that change wasn't something to fear, but a chance for new adventures, new friends, and new discoveries. And the bravest part? It was all inside him, just like the magic mirror had shown.
