An Act Of Kindness
In a far off galaxy, on the third dwarf planet in a binary star system, on a large mountainside, in a small village square, Eli, a humble carpenter, mended a broken cart wheel.
A cloaked figure approached. Earlier, he had calmed a rearing horse, helping the distressed rider—a graceful woman. That woman returned and revealed herself as the princess.
“Eli,” she said, her gown shimmering, “I owe you my life.”
Stunned, he replied, “Your Highness, it was nothing.”
With a smile, she offered him a job in the royal palace. “Your talent deserves recognition.”
His heart racing, Eli looked up at her, knowing this simple act of kindness could change everything. “I humbly accept,” he said, a spark of hope igniting within him.
