The Lost NecklaceBeginningMaya, a kind-hearted 12-year-old girl, lives in a peaceful village by the river. One day, her grandmother gives her a precious old necklace—an heirloom passed down through generations. Maya cherishes it, wearing it every day. But one morning, she wakes up and realizes it’s gone.BodyPanicking, Maya retraces her steps from the day before. She visits the park, the market, and even the school. Along the way, she asks people if they’ve seen it, but no one has. Feeling hopeless, she sits near the riverbank and begins to cry. Just then, her friend Lito arrives and helps her calm down. Together, they think of other places she might have dropped it.Later, Lito remembers seeing Maya playing with a cat near the old treehouse. When they go back there, they spot something shiny between the wooden planks. It’s the necklace—but it’s stuck! Carefully, they manage to get it out.EndingMaya hugs Lito tightly and thanks him. She learns how important it is to take care of special things—and also to not give up easily. She decides to keep the necklace safe in a box at home. That night, she tells her grandmother the whole story, and they both laugh with relief.Moral: Sometimes, you need help and a little faith to find what’s been lost.
