Deep in a quiet forest stood a hundred-year-old tree.
Before dawn had fully broken, a little green leaf named Little Green slowly looked around.
The leaves beside her were bigger. Some were greener, some had clearer veins, and some seemed almost perfect.
Little Green looked at them for a while and felt a little sad.
Then, a few moments later, the morning sun began to spill through the branches, gently lighting up the whole tree.
Little Green stretched herself toward the warmth.
She let the sunlight rest on her leaves and felt its quiet energy moving through her.
Little by little, the sadness began to fade.
She looked around again.
Maybe she wasn’t the biggest leaf. Maybe her veins weren’t the most beautiful.
But she was here.
She was green and healthy. She had sunlight to bask in, a forest to live in, and a gentle breeze moving through the trees.
And perhaps, for now, that was enough.
Just then, a soft breeze passed through the forest.
Little Green gently shook her little body in the wind.
And for the first time that morning, she smiled.
