How to become a hero in everyday life: a story from the Neflental valley

The Neflental valley is shining brightly. The sun in the sky looks like a shining gold coin. Everything shimmers in sun gold and sapphire blue, the crystal lake sparkles like a large mirror. People are celebrating all over the valley. They sit on the shore, wearing colourful clothes, and lanterns float silently through the evening air. People dance around small campfires in the warm light. They laugh, talk and eat summer treats.

The friendly atmosphere at the bay of water lilies

The water lily bay lies at the edge of the crystal lake. Large, round leaves cover the water. Delicate white flowers open their calyxes. Colourful fish dip up and down and iridescent dragonflies flit in the warm air. In this beautiful corner of the Neflen valley, Rosa Periwinkle is making her way to the festival. Her basket is full of fragrant berry pies.

Actually, Rosa just wanted to take a happy stroll to the big party to eat and dance with her friends. The heat of the glittering sun even makes the lily pads shine. Rosa hears the laughter of the revellers, but suddenly a worried croak sounds from under a large leaf.

Helpfulness in the Neflental

Rosa takes a closer look. A small frog is stuck under one of the lily pads. A thick branch is holding it captive and it can't get back into the water. Nobody notices because the festival is so exciting. But Rosa doesn't hesitate. She puts the basket down and bends carefully over the water. She quickly kneels down on a cushion of moss. She holds on to the branch with one hand and carefully lifts the leaf with the other. The frog croaks gratefully.

Sometimes helping looks very simple, but it is very important. If Rosa had just walked on, the little frog might have been stuck there the whole time.

Strong together at the peak

Now Rosa hurries back to the shore. She comes across a boy with a colourful lantern who looks sad. His lantern has fallen into the water and is in danger of sinking. Rosa immediately runs off, takes a long stick and fishes the pretty lantern out of the waves. The boy beams and thanks her happily.

In the meantime, the revellers have also seen how Rosa helps. They clap enthusiastically, because everyone in Neflental knows that helpfulness makes everyday life better. Small acts of heroism can be very big and warm the heart.

How to become an everyday hero in the Neflental valley

Being helpful in Neflental means looking out for others. Sometimes all someone needs is a smile. Sometimes it's good to help, even if it takes little effort. Rosa Periwinkle shows everyone that real heroes aren't loud and don't need a magic wand. If everyone looks out for each other a little, every festival will be more beautiful and Neflental even more colourful.

As the festival continues, old and young friends sit by the water. They share berry pies, tell each other stories and watch the colourful lanterns floating in the gentle summer air. Happiness flickers through the bay of water lilies in the light of the shining sun.

What do we learn from this?

Being helpful in everyday life is not a big deal, but it can change everything. In Neflental, everyone can be a hero if they look out and are there for others. Remember: whether you help a frog, save a lantern or are simply kind - you bring joy and light into the lives of others. In this way, the Neflental will become a place where everyone enjoys living.
