In a little village surrounded by a magical forest, there was a girl named Lily. She loved all the magical things said to live in the forest. One day, she found a shiny teapot under a bush, but it wasn’t just any teapot – it could talk!

When Lily touched the teapot, it started talking and introduced itself as Timothy, the magical teapot that could make wishes come true. It told her that it could only grant wishes that were good and not selfish. Lily was amazed and thought carefully about what she should wish for.

Lily decided to wish for enough food for everyone in her village. Suddenly, the village was filled with lots of fruits, vegetables, and tasty food. Everyone was happy and thanked Lily for her kind wish that helped them all.

But a mean witch in the forest got jealous when she heard about Lily’s wish. She used her magic to make Lily give her the talking teapot. The witch laughed, thinking about all the power she had now.

The teapot, Timothy, was smart, though. He tricked the witch and went back to Lily, who was locked up by the witch. They worked together and beat the witch. All the magical creatures helped to trap the witch so she couldn’t cause trouble anymore. Everyone in the village celebrated, and they all learned to be kind and helpful like Lily. The teapot stayed in the village, giving good wishes to those who needed them, making the forest a place of kindness and caring.
