a little girl with eyes like stardust
The old oak tree stood witness to countless tales. Its gnarled branches reached for the sky, whispering secrets to the wind. One day, a little girl with eyes like stardust approached. "Tell me a story," she pleaded. The tree obliged, recounting ancient legends and forgotten fables. Years passed, and the girl grew older, her visits less frequent.

In that tender moment, the tree whispered, "Life is fleeting, but love endures." And with those words, it crumbled, leaving behind eternal wisdom.
