The Scary Horse
In a place with big trees called Eldermoor, there was a story about a big black horse. This horse was called the Scary Horse. It was a very special horse, and all the kids and grown-ups in Eldermoor knew about it.
The Scary Horse had shiny black fur and red eyes. People said it came out when the moon was big. It ran fast by the trees. When you saw the Scary Horse, fun things would happen. Like an old house might fall down or a big tree might go away.
Elara, a brave little girl, liked the story of the Scary Horse. She wanted to see it.
One cool night, Elara saw the Scary Horse. It was big and pretty. Elara was a little scared, but she went to see it. When she got close, she saw the horse’s eyes were nice. Elara was not scared anymore. She knew the Scary Horse was a sign of fun things coming to Eldermoor.
Elara felt brave watching the horse go back to the trees. She learned that things that look scary can be nice. Changes can be fun.
Everyone in Eldermoor still liked the Scary Horse story. For Elara, it was more than a story. It was about being brave and finding fun in new things.
