Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They were white and pretty. She wanted to feed them some bread.
"Mom, can I give bread to the swans?" Lily asked.
"Sure, but be careful. Swans can bite sometimes," Mom said.
Lily took a piece of bread and walked to the edge of the pond. She saw a swan that looked weird. It had a black spot on its neck and a limp wing. It looked sad and lonely.
"Hello, swan. Do you want some bread?" Lily said.
The swan nodded and swam closer to Lily. Lily threw the bread to the swan. The swan ate it and made a soft noise.
"Thank you, little girl. You are very kind," the swan said.
Lily was surprised. She did not know swans could talk.
"How can you talk?" Lily asked.
"I can talk because I am a magic swan. I used to be a prince, but a witch turned me into a swan. She said I have to suffer until someone breaks the spell," the swan said.
"That's not fair. How can someone break the spell?" Lily asked.
The swan sighed.
"I don't know. The witch said only true love can break the spell. But who would love a weird swan like me?" the swan said.
Lily felt sorry for the swan. She wanted to help him.
"I love you, swan. You are not weird. You are beautiful and brave. Maybe I can break the spell," Lily said.
She hugged the swan gently. The swan felt a warm feeling in his heart. He felt something change in his body. He looked at his reflection in the water. He was not a swan anymore. He was a boy.
"Wow, you did it! You broke the spell! Thank you, Lily. You are my true love," the boy said.
Lily smiled. She liked the boy. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He looked like a prince.
"You're welcome, boy. What is your name?" Lily asked.
"My name is Leo. What is yours?" the boy asked.
"My name is Lily. Do you want to play with me and Ben?" Lily asked.
"Yes, I do. But first, can I kiss you?" Leo asked.
Lily nodded. Leo kissed her on the cheek. Lily giggled.
Mom saw Lily and Leo. She was shocked.
"Lily, who is that boy? Where did he come from?" Mom asked.
Lily and Leo ran to Mom. They told her the story of the magic swan and the witch.
Mom did not believe them at first. She thought they were making it up. But then she saw the black spot on Leo's neck. It was the same as the swan's.
Mom realized it was true. She was amazed and happy.
She hugged Lily and Leo.
"I'm glad you found each other. You are both very special. Now, let's go home and have some cake," Mom said.
Lily and Leo agreed. They held hands and followed Mom. Ben joined them too. He liked Leo. He wanted to be his friend.
They all went home and had cake. They were happy. They did not see the witch. She was watching them from a distance. She was angry and jealous. She wanted to curse them again. But she could not. The spell was broken. She had lost her power. She had to suffer. She flew away on her broom. She never bothered them again.
