Helen is a young girl with curious eyes.
She lives near a grand old castle.
The castle walls stand tall and pale.
Every morning Helen visits the castle yard.
She walks on small stone paths.
She breathes the fresh morning air.
Helen carries a small doll in her arms.
The doll has soft brown hair.
The doll wears a bright pink dress.
Her name is Daisy.
Daisy is Helen’s best friend.
Helen is kind and very brave.
She loves to help others.
Daisy sits quietly in her arms.
One day Helen hears a faint cry.
The sound comes from inside the castle.
She steps through the heavy wooden door.
The hall is vast and peaceful.
Sunlight streams through high windows.
Helen follows the gentle echo.
She holds Daisy close to her chest.
The cry sounds again from a dark room.
Helen feels a small shiver.
She takes a deep breath.
She remembers that she is brave.
She tiptoes down a long corridor.
The corridor smells of old stone.
There is a faint silver shimmer ahead.
The shimmer glows near a carved arch.
Helen pauses and hears soft sobs.
She pushes open the archway.
Inside she sees a sad toy soldier.
His uniform is chipped and old.
He holds a broken sword.
He looks at Helen with big eyes.
Daisy peeks over Helen’s hand.
Helen kneels beside the toy soldier.
She asks him what is wrong.
The soldier voice trembles softly.
He lost the magic castle key.
Without the key he cannot go home.
He feels very afraid and alone.
Helen wants to help her friend.
She promises to find the key.
The toy soldier smiles with relief.
Helen stands and holds Daisy.
She turns back into the hall.
She looks for clues near the doors.
She checks each hallway carefully.
Daisy points a small hand finger.
A golden glint shines near a pillar.
Helen walks toward the pillar.
She finds a tiny silver note.
The note has a riddle written softly.
Helen reads each word with care.
The riddle speaks of secret steps.
She remembers the castle map.
She takes the map from her pocket.
She unfolds it slowly with care.
The map shows three hidden rooms.
Helen points to the first room.
It is the old library.
Helen and Daisy hurry toward it.
They pass rows of dusty old books.
Helen brushes a cobweb aside.
She finds a small brass knob.
The knob opens a secret shelf.
The shelf swings open with a click.
Inside is a second silver note.
Helen reads the note aloud.
It speaks of a crystal lantern.
Helen and Daisy leave the library.
They walk down a spiral stone stair.
They reach a dimly lit tower room.
A lantern glows on a wooden stand.
Helen lifts the lantern gently.
A beam of light shines on the floor.
On the floor lies a third silver note.
The note guides them to the garden maze.
Helen hurries back toward the main door.
The garden maze waits outside.
Vines twist and bloom all around.
Daisy claps her hands in delight.
Helen steps into the maze gently.
She follows the lantern light.
She hears soft birds chirping above.
The path forks three times.
Helen turns left then right then left.
At the end she sees a stone fountain.
Water sparkles in the morning sun.
At the fountain base is a small chest.
Helen opens the chest slowly.
Inside lies the magic castle key.
It glows with a soft blue light.
Helen lifts the key with a smile.
Daisy cheers quietly in her arms.
Helen hurries back to the hall.
The toy soldier waits near the arch.
His eyes shine with hope.
Helen holds out the shining key.
The toy soldier gasps with joy.
He takes the key with trembling hands.
The chest clicks and opens wide.
A gentle voice speaks from above.
The castle door swings open slowly.
A warm breeze carries sweet song.
The toy soldier salutes Helen.
He thanks her with a bright smile.
Helen feels happy and proud.
She hugs Daisy close again.
The castle seems full of magic.
Helen waves goodbye to the soldier.
She steps into the morning light.
Daisy lifts her dress and waves.
The garden birds sing a soft tune.
Helen feels brave inside her heart.
She knows she can help friends.
She runs home down the stone path.
She turns back and looks at the castle.
She smiles and whispers, “Good day, castle.”
Helen and Daisy walk back to home.
They have a new story to share.
Helen holds Daisy extra close tonight.
She feels proud of her big adventure.
The night sky twinkles above quietly.
Helen dreams of new bright adventures soon.
She drifts off with a happy smile.
Daisy rests softly in her arms.
The moon watches over them with care.
Stars twinkle like tiny castle lights.
Helen feels safe and calm.
Tomorrow she will explore again.
The night ends with peaceful grace.
Everything feels just right.
