Loving Oneself
Champak|September Second 2023
Once upon a time, in a beautiful village, lived a girl named Goldilocks. She was famous in the faraway lands for her golden shining hair like the rays of the sun. Wherever she went, people could not help praising her beautiful hair.

Loving Oneself

But as time passed by, Goldilocks started feeling unhappy about her golden hair. She started feeling as if the golden hair did not match with her personality.

She wanted her hair colour that would reflect her bold and adventurous personality.

One morning, when Goldilocks saw her reflection in the mirror, she decided that she was ready to do anything to change the colour of her hair.

Goldilocks set out on her journey, filled with hope and enthusiasm. Her first stop was at a mysterious village where magical hair fairies lived.

Those fairies were famous for having the power to grant wishes related to hair.

They welcomed Goldilocks when she reached their village. They were stunned when they heard of Goldilocks' wish, but they assured her that she had come to the right place.

After careful thought, the fairies gave Goldilocks a shining glass bottle filled with magical potion.

They said, "This potion will change the colour of your hair. You can wish to keep any colour of your choice. But remember, once the colour of your hair is changed, you can never change it to the original colour."

Goldilocks thanked the fairies and happily accepted the potion. She wished to sit in a comfortable place and drink the magic potion. At last, she found a place under a shady thick tree. She wondered, "What colour should my hair be?"
