    Once, in a peaceful town lived a boy named Rehan. He was an inquisitive soul who had a penchant for discovering unusual items. One day, he stumbled upon a magical pen in the attic that shimmered like a star and hummed a soft lullaby.

    The pen had a mysterious power. When Rehan doodled with it, his illustrations came alive! This remarkable news about Rehan's magical pen spread in the town, and his astonished friends requested him to sketch varied things.

    However, Rehan realized that the pen depleted his energy after every use. Troubled, he confided in his wise Grandpa, who informed him about the cost that comes with magic.

    Despite his friends' persistence, Rehan decided to use the pen modestly for their and his own wellbeing. One day, his friend Lily asked him to draw a castle, to which he agreed.

    After completing the castle sketch, Rehan collapsed from exhaustion. On regaining consciousness, he saw Lily anxiously waiting beside him.

    Once recovered, Rehan resolved to use the pen not for creation, but for understanding and repairing things. This idea made him popular and sought after for his problem-solving ability.

    He once mended a broken toy for a small girl, realizing the true magic lay not in creating, but in assisting others. From that day, Rehan was known not for his magical pen, but for his magical heart.

    Today, even as he's older, Rehan continues to radiate magic in his town. His friends visit him not for his pen's magic, but for the wisdom they gain from him.

    Rehan's tale of discovering the true magic within himself and using it responsibly still inspires everyone. He stands as an embodiment of the belief that real magic lies in our actions, intentions, and hearts.
