    Legend had it that the dwarfs whisked away struggling children to their hidden underground village. There, they would educate and nurture them.

    In their world, the dwarfs taught the children valuable skills and wisdom beyond their years. The children thrived under their care.

    The children grew into capable and successful adults, thanks to the guidance of the magical dwarfs. The dwarfs then revealed their true purpose.

    The elder dwarf would address the grown-ups, 'You have thrived under our care, now it's time for you to return to your family and community.'

    Filled with gratitude, the grown-ups journeyed back to their villages, armed with the lessons they had learned from the dwarfs. They were ready to help their people.
