An Autistic boy struggles to enjoy the holidays with his noisy family.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Julia who loved to see everyone around her smile. She wanted everyone to be happy, so she would always do what they liked and never what she liked. To make others happy, Julia put on a special masquerade mask that made her look like the perfect friend. As Julia got a little older, she realized that she didn't really like the mask she was wearing. It didn't feel right. So, she found a new mask to wear around different people. With her family, she wore a mask that made her look serious and responsible. With her friends, she wore a mask that made her look funny and carefree. Years went by, and Julia collected many masks. Each mask was different, shaped by the people she met and the things that happened in her life. Some masks were colorful and bright, while others were dull and plain. Julia wore these masks every day, changing them depending on who she was with. But as Julia grew older, she noticed something. Wearing all these different masks was tiring. It was like carrying a heavy bag all the time. By the time Julia was an adult she decided that enough was enough. She didn't want to wear different masks anymore. One day, Julia took off all her masks. She was scared because no one had ever seen her without a mask. Not even Julia herself! But something wonderful happened. Not wearing a mask was relaxing. Julia felt light and carefree. And then, something magical happened. By being herself, Julia spread love to everyone around her. People saw the real Julia and loved her just as she was. Julia was happy, and her happiness made everyone else happy too. And so, Julia learned that the best way to make others happy is to be happy yourself. And she lived happily ever after, without any masks. The end.

**The Blue Eyes** Lena liked the café for its quiet predictability—familiar faces, muted conversations, and the hum of rain on the windows. It was her refuge, a place where no one expected anything of her. That’s when she noticed him. He sat by the window, ordinary in every way except for his eyes—blue, startlingly vivid, like they saw through her. When he glanced her way, Lena quickly looked down, her heart unexpectedly quickening. Moments later, she heard his voice. “Is this seat taken?” Startled, she stammered, “No, go ahead.” He sat across from her, casual but assured. “I’m Michael,” he said, his gaze steady. “Lena.” Their conversation began awkwardly but quickly fell into an easy rhythm. They talked about books, the rain, nothing extraordinary—yet everything about it felt significant. His presence was magnetic, his words strangely familiar, as though they were picking up a thread they’d left unfinished. --- Michael started appearing more often, each visit deepening their bond. He knew little details about her—how she always ordered her coffee black, how she twisted her ring when nervous. “You notice a lot,” Lena said one day, half-joking. He smiled, almost apologetic. “I don’t mean to. It’s just... you feel familiar. Like I’ve known you before.” Lena’s chest tightened. She felt it too—that inexplicable pull, as if their lives had crossed in ways neither could explain. But she didn’t ask what he meant. Some feelings were too fragile to question. --- Then one day, he disappeared. Lena waited, watching the door every afternoon, her heart sinking when he didn’t come. She texted him, but there was no reply. Days turned into weeks. She went to the café out of habit, but the empty chair across from her was impossible to ignore. He was gone. Sitting by the window one rainy evening, she let the memory settle in her chest like a bittersweet ache.

Once in a peaceful little town by the sea, there lived a cat named Avery. Avery was a fluffy, white and faun ragdoll who loved to eat more than anything in the world. He especially loved fish, and every day, he would sit by the docks waiting for the fishermen to return with their catch. The fishermen were kind and often gave Avery a fish or two. But Avery was greedy. No matter how many fish he got, he always wanted more. One sunny afternoon, as the fishermen were unloading their boats, Avery saw the biggest fish he had ever laid eyes on. It was shiny and silver, and Avery’s mouth watered just looking at it. “I must have that fish!” Avery thought, though he had already eaten two smaller ones that day. But the big fish wasn’t for Avery. It was the prize catch of the day, and the fishermen planned to sell it at the market. Avery, however, was too greedy to think about that. So, while everyone was busy, he quietly snuck up, grabbed the fish in his mouth, and ran off. Avery was thrilled! He imagined feasting on the giant fish all by himself. But as he hurried to his secret spot, he crossed a narrow bridge over a stream. When Avery looked down, he saw something amazing — another cat in the water holding an even bigger fish! Of course, it was just his own reflection, but Avery didn’t know that. “I want that fish too!” he thought greedily, dropping the fish from his mouth into the water as he tried to snatch the one he saw below. SPLASH! The fish fell into the stream and swam away, leaving Avery with nothing. His big, shiny fish was gone, and so was the reflection he had mistaken for another prize. Avery sat by the stream, sad and hungry. When he returned to the docks, the fishermen had packed up and left, and there were no more fish to be found. Avery realised that his greed had cost him his meal. From that day on, Avery learned an important lesson: being greedy can make you lose what you already have. He still loved fish, but he never took more than he needed again.
