A Árvore dos Desejos
In the heart of Paris, a young boy named Gabriel discovers a magical tree that grants wishes. But when his wish to help the less fortunate goes awry, he faces challenges that test his resolve and kindness.
In a cozy little neighborhood of Paris, 7-year-old Gabriel with his morena skin and encaracolados hair found a strange tree in the park. It had golden leaves and seemed to whisper secrets. One day, Gabriel overheard a family talking about how they had no food. Touched by their plight, Gabriel wished to help them. Little did he know that the tree had the power to grant wishes.
- I wish for food to help the hungry people, Gabriel said to the tree. Suddenly, fruits began to grow rapidly on the tree. But as Gabriel picked them, they quickly rotted in his hands. Gabriel felt discouraged. He couldn't understand why the tree's magic seemed to fail.
Determined, Gabriel decided to try again. He wished for money to buy food for the needy. Coins rained down, but they turned into leaves before reaching the ground. Gabriel's heart sank. The more he tried, the more the tree's magic seemed to slip away.
Feeling hopeless, Gabriel sat under the tree and sighed. - Maybe I'm not meant to help, he said quietly. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Just as he was about to give up, a gentle voice spoke. - Don't lose hope, young one. Gabriel looked up to see an old man with kind eyes.
The old man introduced himself as the tree's guardian. - The tree only grants wishes made with true charity in your heart, he explained. Gabriel realized he had been wishing for things instead of finding ways to truly help. With renewed hope, he thought of a new plan.
Gabriel gathered his friends and neighbors to organize a food drive. They collected enough to help many families. - Look how much we've done together, Gabriel said, smiling at the crowd. The tree glowed warmly, its golden leaves shimmering in approval. Gabriel learned that true charity comes from the heart.
