The Carved Wooden Bird
In a remote woodland village, an elderly woodcarver named Toby spent his final winters crafting delicate wooden birds for the local children. He poured his soul into every feather, but sold them for meager coins just to keep his hearth warm. A wealthy noble visited his cottage and offered a fortune for Toby's entire collection, demanding exclusive rights so no other child could ever play with them. Toby gently shook his head and refused the tempting pile of gold. He explained that art loses its soul when hoarded away from those who need its simple joy the most. The noble left empty-handed, while Toby smiled, handing another bird to a smiling barefoot girl outside.
