Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a magical tree that bore golden apples. The golden apples were said to have magical powers, and whoever ate one would be granted their heart's deepest desire. But the tree was guarded by a fierce dragon and only the bravest and most courageous of warriors could defeat it and pick the golden apples.
One day, a young orphan boy named Jack heard about the golden apples and decided to embark on a quest to find them. He was a kind-hearted and determined boy, but he had no weapons or armor to defend himself. Nevertheless, he set out on his journey, determined to find the golden apples and make a better life for himself.
As he traveled through the kingdom, Jack met many interesting characters who helped him on his quest. He met an old wizard who taught him magic spells, a wise old owl who gave him advice, and a group of friendly dwarves who helped him cross a treacherous mountain. But Jack's greatest challenge was yet to come, as he had to face the dragon who guarded the golden apples.
Jack finally reached the dragon's lair and bravely confronted the beast. But instead of fighting, Jack decided to use his wits and kindness to make friends with the dragon. He told the dragon that the golden apples were not meant to be hoarded, but shared with others. The dragon was touched by Jack's words and decided to give him the golden apples.
Jack was overjoyed, and he ate one of the golden apples. To his surprise, his deepest desire was not wealth or power, but to help others and make a better life for those less fortunate. Jack thanked the dragon and returned to his village, where he used his newfound wealth to build a school and an orphanage for the children of the village.
Years passed, and Jack's village flourished. He was loved and respected by all, and his kindness and generosity had brought happiness and prosperity to many. He had truly found the golden apple of his heart's desire.
Moral: True wealth and happiness come from helping others and being kind and generous.
