In a little town where the stars shone brightly, lived a curious boy named Simba. He loved asking questions. But the one that puzzled him most was: “What makes me… me?”

One evening, as he lay in bed, his mind buzzing with thoughts, a tiny glow appeared beside him. It was shaped like a spark, shimmering in many colors.

“I am your brain,” the spark whispered. “I help you learn, feel, and dream. I am more powerful than the biggest computer, yet there is so much about me that no one fully understands!”

Simba’s eyes widened. “But how?” he asked.

“Every time you read, play, or explore, I grow stronger. When you sleep well and eat healthy, I shine brighter. And when you think deeply, you start to see the world in new ways.”

Simba imagined his tiny spark growing like a beautiful firework, lighting up his thoughts, his feelings, and even his kindness.

“But that’s not all,” the spark continued. “Your brain isn’t just for you. When you smile, others smile too. When you choose kindness, others follow. Your healthy habits spread, like ripples in a pond.”

Simba thought about his friends, his family, and even people he didn’t know. If he took care of his brain, maybe they would too. And if everyone’s brain grew brighter, what could the world become?

“You might start to see past differences,” the spark whispered. “You might care more for others, for nature, for the planet we all share.”

Simba smiled. “So, by taking care of my brain, I can help the whole world?”

The spark twinkled. “Exactly. Every great change starts with one small spark.”

And as Simba drifted into sleep, he promised to let his spark shine—and maybe, just maybe, light the way for others.
