odd trinkets from around the world. Her cottage, nestled deep in the woods at the edge of the village, was like a museum of curiosities. One brisk autumn morning, as Maude was rummaging through a dusty old chest in her attic, she stumbled upon a small, intricately carved wooden box. Inside the box, nestled among moth-eaten cloth, was a shimmering crystal orb that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light. Intrigued by the orb's beauty, Maude took it downstairs to her parlor and placed it on a table in the center of the room. As the afternoon sun filtered through the window, the orb began to emit a soft, soothing hum. Unbeknownst to Maude, the orb possessed magical powers. It had the ability to grant wishes to anyone who held it in their hands and spoke their heart's desire aloud. Word of Maude's discovery spread quickly throughout the village, and soon, people from far and wide came to visit her cottage, hoping to catch a glimpse of the enchanted orb and make a wish of their own. Maude, however, was cautious. She knew that such power could be dangerous in the wrong hands. She allowed visitors to gaze upon the orb but refused to let anyone touch it.
