The Whispering Well

Story · by Ishita · Class 4 · Bright Minds School, Lucknow

The villagers said the old well whispered secrets.

The villagers said the old well whispered secrets. Nandini leaned in and heard a soft echo of her own voice. "Be kind," she whispered, and the well echoed back, "Be kind." She understood: the well only gave back what she gave. From that day, she said kind words everywhere, and the whole village began to echo them.
