The Garden Discovery”
One afternoon, Sarah watched her daughter, Lily, playing in the garden when something in Lily’s hand caught her eye. Rushing outside, Sarah froze. In Lily’s grip was a strange root-like figure—small, twisted, and disturbingly human in form, with what appeared to be a face.“Where did you get that?” Sarah asked, her voice shaking.Lily smiled and pointed to the bushes. “It was just lying there, Mommy. Isn’t it funny?”Sarah’s heart pounded as she remembered an old legend about a cursed root shaped like a human, believed to bring misfortune. She grabbed it from Lily’s hand and threw it aside, feeling a deep unease settle in her chest.That night, strange things began to happen: flickering lights, objects moving on their own, and a cold presence in the house. Lily fell ill, and no doctor could explain why. Sarah realized too late that some things in nature are best left alone.—Moral: Mothers should be careful about letting their children play unsupervised, as not everything they find outdoors is safe.
