    Once there was a man named Harold who lived a simple life. He spent his days working in a small shop, selling odds and ends. One day, he stumbled upon a peculiar pen hidden in a dusty corner of the shop.

    Intrigued by its intricate design, Harold picked it up and began to sketch a bird on a piece of paper. To his astonishment, the drawing lifted off the paper and flapped its wings. The bird was alive!

    Realizing the power he held in his hands, Harold started experimenting. He drew a delicious apple, which he could taste. He sketched a beautiful flower that had a real fragrance.

    News of Harold's extraordinary pen spread through the town. People would gather around his shop, requesting him to draw things. Harold, however, was cautious not to misuse this power.

    One day, a sorrowful woman approached Harold. She explained that her daughter was very ill and requested a cure. Touched by her story, Harold agreed to help.

    He carefully sketched a potion with the label 'cure'. As soon as he finished, the drawing materialized into a bottle with a glowing liquid. The woman thanked Harold and hurried home.

    The next day, the woman returned with a radiant smile. Her daughter was cured! The town hailed Harold as a hero, but he remained humble. He knew the pen was the real miracle.

    Word of Harold's deeds reached the king. Intrigued, he summoned Harold to his palace. The king asked Harold to draw a treasure chest full of gold.

    Harold hesitated but ultimately complied. He drew a chest, which materialized into a beautiful golden box filled with shiny coins. The king was delighted.

    However, the king's greed grew. He demanded Harold to draw more gold, jewels, and luxurious items. Harold tried to refuse, but the king threatened to imprison him.

    Harold was torn. The pen had brought joy to people, but it was now being used for greed. He knew he had to do something to prevent the misuse of the pen.

    That night, Harold carefully drew a mirror. As it materialized, he held it up to the king, who saw his reflection surrounded by all the wealth he desired but looked miserable.

    The king was taken aback. He saw his greed reflected back at him and felt ashamed. He realized that wealth was not the key to happiness and apologized to Harold.

    Harold decided it was time to let go of the pen. He drew a box, placed the pen inside, and sealed it. He knew the pen was too powerful to be kept.

    He gave the box to the king, asking him to hide it where no one would find it. The king agreed and did as Harold requested.
