Maya worked as a maid in a grand mansion. The mansion was home to spoiled children who never treated Maya kindly. Every day, she cleaned and tidied, but the children left messes everywhere. Maya often dreamed of a different life, one where she felt appreciated. One day, after a particularly tough day, Maya decided she had enough. She packed her small bag and left the mansion behind. As she walked away, she felt a sense of freedom she hadn't felt in years.

Maya wandered through the town, unsure of where to go next. She stopped by a small park to rest and think. As she sat on a bench, an elderly woman named Barbara approached her. Barbara had a kind smile and offered Maya some homemade cookies. They talked for a while, and Maya felt comforted by Barbara's warmth. Barbara listened to Maya's story and offered her a place to stay. Maya gratefully accepted, feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time.

Curious, she asked Barbara about it. Barbara chuckled and said, 'There's more to you than meets the eye, Maya.' Maya was puzzled but intrigued. Barbara promised to show her something special the next day.

The next morning, Barbara took Maya to a hidden garden behind her house. The garden was filled with colorful flowers and herbs. Barbara handed Maya a wand and encouraged her to try a simple spell. Nervously, Maya waved the wand and whispered the spell. To her amazement, the flowers began to dance around her. 'You're a witch, Maya,' Barbara said with a smile. Maya was shocked but excited to learn more.
