Once upon a time, in a cozy little town, there lived a boy named Ethan. Ethan was a kind and imaginative boy, but he had one little problem – he was afraid of the dark.

Whenever the sun went down, and the shadows grew long, Ethan's heart would race, and his imagination would play tricks on him. He believed there were scary monsters lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce on him.

One fateful night, as Ethan lay in his bed, his room enveloped in darkness, a soft glow appeared at the foot of his bed. Ethan rubbed his eyes in disbelief as he saw a beautiful angel with shimmering wings and a kind smile. The angel introduced himself as Ariel, the Angel of Courage.

Ariel sat down on the edge of Ethan's bed and spoke to him in a soothing voice. He understood his fears and assured him that he was safe. He told Ethan stories of brave children who overcame their fears and ventured into the unknown, discovering wonderful and magical things.

Ethan began to feel a spark of courage ignite within him. With Ariel's guidance, he learned that his imagination was a powerful tool. Together, they embarked on exciting adventures, exploring enchanted forests and meeting friendly creatures like talking animals and mischievous fairies. Ethan realized that the darkness was just a canvas for his imagination to paint extraordinary stories.

One night, as Ethan lay in bed, he summoned his newfound courage. With Ariel by his side, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Slowly, he counted to three and opened his eyes to face the darkness. To his surprise, the shadows seemed less scary than before. He realized that his fears were just illusions, created by his own imagination.
