    Two girls, Mary and Kate, were going home, each carrying a basket full of fruits . The baskets were heavy, but Mary was singing and smiling.

    Kate looked at Mary, puzzled. She couldn't understand how Mary could be so joyful despite the heavy load. 'How can you be so happy?' she asked Mary.

    Mary looked at Kate, still smiling. 'In my basket, I put a magic herb so the basket is not so heavy,' she said.

    Kate's eyes widened in surprise. 'Can I have some of your magic herb?' she asked, intrigued by Mary's secret.

    Mary giggled at Kate's question. 'The magic herb is called Patience,' she revealed, her eyes twinkling with wisdom beyond her years.

    Mary nodded. 'Yes, when you have patience, nothing is hard. You can do all the things you put in mind,' she explained, her voice filled with conviction.

    Kate thought about Mary's words. She realized that patience could lighten her burdens, not just the physical ones, but also the ones in her heart.
