Who Are You Really?
In a magical land called Mirroria, every creature owned a special mirror. These mirrors didn’t just show faces; they revealed what was inside: courage, kindness, fears, and dreams.
One day, a boy named Alex and his cat, Lexie, discovered an old, dusty mirror hidden in the attic of their house. When Alex looked into the mirror, he saw his reflection, but the mirror whispered:
– Alex, who are you really?
Alex chuckled.
– I’m Alex! I love playing games, reading stories, and eating pancakes!
But the mirror shimmered gently with a silver glow.
– That’s what you do, but who are you?
Alex looked puzzled at Lexie, who climbed onto the mirror’s frame and meowed:
– Maybe the mirror means you’re more than what you see with your eyes.
At that moment, the mirror began to change. Alex saw lights shining from his heart: a red light for his bravery to try new things, a green light for the kindness he showed his friends, and a yellow light for his endless curiosity about the world.
– Alex, the real you isn’t just a boy. You are your courage, kindness, and curiosity. You are everything you feel and share with the world.
Alex smiled.
– So, I’m more than what I do or what others say about me? I’m what I carry in my heart?
The mirror glowed brighter.
– Exactly! And the more you discover about yourself, the brighter you’ll shine.
From that day on, Alex and Lexie often returned to the mirror—not to check their faces, but to remember that their true magic came from within.
And you, dear child, if you looked into Alex’s mirror, what would you discover about yourself?
