In a quiet village nestled between forest and sea, there lived an old lighthouse keeper named Amiel. Every night, he would climb the spiral tower above the cliffs and light the great lantern, so ships could find their way home.
One day, a boy asked, “Why do you climb every night? Most nights, no ships pass.”
Amiel smiled. “Because someone might need the light—even if I never see them.”
The boy frowned. “Isn’t it tiring? Pointless?”
Amiel looked at him, eyes twinkling. “No act of light is ever wasted. The flame I carry doesn’t just guide ships—it reminds me who I am.”
One stormy evening, lightning struck the tower, and the great lantern was shattered. Yet Amiel still climbed, holding only a small flame in a covered jar.
Villagers scoffed. “That tiny light won’t help anyone!”
But in the distance, a fisherman lost in the fog saw the faint glimmer. Guided by it, he returned safely.
Later, he told the village, “It wasn’t the size of the light—it was the fact someone kept it burning.”
And so, Amiel became a legend—not for his strength, but for his unwavering flame.
Moral:
You don’t have to be seen to be significant.
Shine your light anyway.
It just might save someone in the dark.
