The Promise of Three Thousand Nights
Introduction
When Mia was five years old, she asked her father a question.
“Will you tell me a story every night?”
Her father smiled.
“I will tell you stories for three thousand nights.”
The Stories
Every night before bed, Mia waited for her father’s stories.
Some were about dragons.
Some were about space explorers.
Some were about brave little girls.
Growing Up
As Mia grew older, life became busy.
School, homework, and friends filled her days.
But her father never forgot the promise.
Even on the busiest nights, he told a story.
The Last Story
Years later Mia prepared to leave for college.
That night her father told one final story.
It was about a little girl who grew up strong and kind.
Mia realized the story was about her.
Ending
Before leaving, Mia hugged her father.
“Did you reach three thousand nights?” she asked.
Her father smiled.
“I stopped counting a long time ago.”
