Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a switchman who lived in a small house near the railway tracks. His job was to operate the switches and ensure that the trains ran smoothly on the tracks.
One day, a mysterious stranger arrived at the village and asked the switchman for a favor. He wanted to take the place of the switchman for one night. The switchman was hesitant at first, but the stranger insisted, promising him a reward if he agreed.
That night, the switchman reluctantly agreed to let the stranger take his place. As the trains passed by, the stranger seemed to know exactly which switches to operate, and the trains ran smoothly without any issues.
When the morning came, the stranger revealed his true identity - he was a magical being who had been watching over the village for centuries. He thanked the switchman for his help and granted him a wish as a reward.
The switchman thought for a moment and then asked for the ability to bring happiness to all the people in the village. The magical being granted his wish, and from that day on, the village was filled with joy and laughter.
