Uba Cornejo Makes a Magical Lantern




By Uba Cornejo

In a small, cozy cottage nestled amidst a lush garden, there lived a young girl named Uba Cornejo. Uba had a vivid imagination and a heart filled with boundless creativity. One starry night, as she lay in her bed gazing out the window, her eyes sparkled with an idea.

Uba decided she would make a magical lantern that would bring joy and wonder to all who saw it. With newfound determination, she gathered materials from around her home - pieces of colored glass, twisted wire, and a few twinkling fairy lights.

Uba spent hours carefully shaping and cutting the glass, her nimble fingers guided by her imaginative vision. As she worked, the air around her crackled with excitement, and the faint hum of her humming filled the cottage.

Layer by layer, Uba assembled the lantern, each piece of glass a different color of the rainbow - emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, golden yellow, and amethyst purple. When the lantern was complete, it resembled a shimmering kaleidoscope, casting an ethereal glow upon the walls.

To finish her masterpiece, Uba gently threaded the fairy lights through the glass, creating a constellation of twinkling stars within. As she plugged it in, the lantern burst to life, its vibrant colors illuminating the room with a soft, enchanting light.

Uba couldn't contain her joy. She carried the lantern outside, where it cast a magical glow upon the garden. The flowers seemed to sway and dance in its light, their petals shimmering like tiny jewels.

From that day forward, Uba's magical lantern became a beloved treasure in the village. People would come from far and wide to marvel at its beauty, and every child who saw it wished to have one of their own.

And so, Uba Cornejo, the imaginative and creative young girl, became known throughout the land as the maker of magical lanterns. Her creations brought joy and wonder to countless hearts, inspiring them to believe in the power of their own imagination.
