There once was a very small town hidden far in the woods. The people there lived simple lives, far from the big city lights and noise. One day, a tall man came to sell [1] strange things in the town square. He said he could demonstrate [2] magic that no one had ever seen before. The people did not trust him, but they were curious.
This man had in his hands a model [3] of a house. He said he could bend [4] reality and imply [5] that what he held was a real house. With a whisper and a wave of his hand, the toy house seemed to grow bigger and bigger until it was the size of a real home. The people were scared but also amazed.
A commentator [6] from the town wrote about the man in the local paper. Some said he was a defender [7] of the old ways and mysteries. Others were not so sure. They whispered that the man was not to be trusted, for there was something strange about the alignment [8] of the stars whenever he was around.
As days passed, more odd things started to happen. Milk would sour instantly, animals would not sleep at night, and shadows would move on their own. People began to gain [9] fear, and nobody wanted the strange man to stay any longer.
One brave person decided to stand up to him. She was a lawyer and knew a lot about lawsuits [10]. She told the man that he was causing trouble and that the ministry [11] of the town would not accept this. The man laughed and said that there was no law against what he did.
The lawyer talked to the leaders, but they could not agree on what to do. This problem was strange and new. There was no rule in the parliamentary [12] books that could help. So, the townspeople had to think of their own way to send the man away.
As time passed, the man continued to sell [1] and imply [5] things that scared the town folk. They felt their good and calm life bending [4] and twisting into something dark. They knew that they had to protect their town and be its defenders [7].
Finally, a very old woman came forward. She said she knew the secret to the man’s magic. It was the model [3] of the house he had made grow. She said if they could make it small again, the man would lose his power.
So, at night, when the stars were hidden by clouds, the town came together. They snuck into the house while the man slept and found the model [3]. With a gentle touch, the old woman spoke softly to the small house, and it began to shrink.
The strange man woke up to find his power gone. The town had won, and they watched as he left without a word. Peace fell over the village once more, and from then on, they were more careful about who they let sell [1] and demonstrate [2] wonders in their simple town.
The simple folk of the town learned an important lesson: that the price of peace was constant vigilance, and that the real magic was in their unity and courage. They had bent the path of their own story away from darkness and back into the light.
