                  In a quiet town behind the tall oak trees, a small red wagon waited beside a crooked fence, wondering when its next adventure might begin, listening to the soft whispers of the wind.
                  Each morning, the wagon watched the clouds drift slowly overhead, tracing shapes of dragons and kites while the birds hopped along the grass, pecking gently at hidden seeds.
                  One day, a curious child with bright shoelaces noticed the wagon’s chipped paint and friendly handle, and decided it should travel beyond the yard, down the path toward the river.
                  Together they rolled past dandelions and puddles, collecting smooth stones, crinkled leaves, and secret stories that only the rustling reeds beside the water seemed able to understand.
                  When the sun finally leaned low against the rooftops, the wagon and the child turned back home, wheels humming softly, already planning tomorrow’s journey in the fading evening light.
                  That night, while the stars blinked above the sleeping town, the little red wagon rested by the fence again, feeling a bit braver, knowing that new paths were waiting just beyond the gate.

                <p style="margin:0 0 4px 0;">
                  In a quiet town behind the tall oak trees, a small red wagon waited beside a crooked fence, wondering when its next adventure might begin, listening to the soft whispers of the wind.
                </p>
                <p style="margin:0 0 4px 0;">
                  Each morning, the wagon watched the clouds drift slowly overhead, tracing shapes of dragons and kites while the birds hopped along the grass, pecking gently at hidden seeds.
                </p>
                <p style="margin:0 0 4px 0;">
                  One day, a curious child with bright shoelaces noticed the wagon’s chipped paint and friendly handle, and decided it should travel beyond the yard, down the path toward the river.
                </p>
                <p style="margin:0 0 4px 0;">
                  Together they rolled past dandelions and puddles, collecting smooth stones, crinkled leaves, and secret stories that only the rustling reeds beside the water seemed able to understand.
                </p>
                <p style="margin:0 0 4px 0;">
                  When the sun finally leaned low against the rooftops, the wagon and the child turned back home, wheels humming softly, already planning tomorrow’s journey in the fading evening light.
                </p>
                <p style="margin:0;">
                  That night, while the stars blinked above the sleeping town, the little red wagon rested by the fence again, feeling a bit braver, knowing that new paths were waiting just beyond the gate.
