Mia the little bear cub lived in a cozy den at the edge of the Pinewood Forest. She had a secret: her hugs were magic. Whenever someone felt sad, lonely, or scared, Mia would open her arms and give them the warmest hug. One rainy morning, Mia heard sniffles outside her den. It was Ollie the owl, whose feathers were droopy and eyes dim. 'I’m worried I’ll never fly as high as the others,' he whispered. Mia hugged Ollie tightly, and suddenly his wings felt lighter. That night, Ollie soared higher than ever, and his laughter echoed through the woods. Word spread about Mia’s magic hug. Next, Daisy the squirrel came, missing her lost acorn. Mia hugged Daisy, and together, they found the acorn under a pile of golden leaves. One by one, animals visited Mia: Benny the rabbit, scared of the thunder; Millie the mole, shy about her tiny eyes. Each time, Mia’s hug brought courage, smiles, or a spark of hope. But one evening, Mia sat quietly under the stars, feeling a little lonely herself. Who would hug her? The animals remembered how much Mia had given them. They tiptoed into her den and wrapped her in a big, fuzzy group hug. Mia’s heart glowed, and she realized: hugs share magic both ways. From then on, whenever the forest was sad or stormy, Mia’s den was filled with laughter, warmth, and hugs that made everyone—big or small—believe in a little magic.
