At the far end of Willowbrook Village, where the fields stretched as far as the eye could see, stood an old windmill, its wooden blades creaking softly in the breeze. Long ago, it had been the heart of the town, grinding flour for the baker and watching over the farmers. But now, no one paid it much attention.
Except for Leo, a curious little boy who loved to explore. Every afternoon, while other children played near the river, Leo sat beneath the windmill, listening. He had always felt that the windmill had a story to tell.
One evening, as the sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, a gentle whisper floated through the air.
“Hello?” Leo called, looking around.
The windmill’s blades turned slowly, and another whisper drifted by.
“Thank you for listening.”
Leo’s eyes widened. “You can talk?”
“Only to those who believe in forgotten things,” the windmill replied, its voice like the rustling of leaves.
Leo grinned. “Then tell me your story!”
And so, the windmill began to whisper tales of the past—of how it once stood tall and proud, of the children who used to play near its base, and of the baker who sang as he carried sacks of flour.
“But now, nobody remembers me,” the windmill sighed. “I feel like I’ve lost my voice.”
Leo thought for a moment. Then, an idea sparked in his mind. The next day, he gathered his friends and led them to the whispering windmill.
“It’s full of stories!” Leo told them. “Just listen!”
The children closed their eyes, feeling the wind brush against their cheeks. And soon, they heard it too—the soft whispers of the past, carried by the wind.
From that day on, the windmill was never lonely again. Children visited often, listening to its stories and playing in its shade. And each evening, as the wind danced through its blades, it whispered its gratitude to the little boy who had helped it find its voice.
