Once upon a time, in a small coastal town, lived a kind old toymaker named Silas. He was known for his beautifully crafted wooden toys.
One day, a young boy named Finn came to Silas's workshop, holding a broken toy boat. "Can you mend it, please?" Finn asked, his eyes filled with hope.
Silas smiled. "Of course, I can, Finn!" He carefully examined the little wooden boat. Its mast was snapped, and the hull had a large crack.
Silas spent the afternoon mending the boat with loving care. He mended the mast, glued the hull back together, and even added a fresh coat of paint.
When Finn returned, he was amazed. The boat looked even better than before! "Thank you, Silas!" he exclaimed, clutching the boat tightly.
Finn rushed to the beach, eager to sail his newly mended boat. As he launched it into the water, the little boat danced joyfully on the waves.
From that day on, Finn and his little boat had many wonderful adventures together, all thanks to the kindness and skill of the old toymaker Silas, who loved to mend broken things and bring happiness to others.
