[Story]

In a rural area, an attendant named Pure was known for her ruthless dedication to her work. One day, she discovered a rusty old puppet in a nearby field. Intrigued, she decided to restore it to its former glory. As she worked, she realized that the puppet had a hidden purpose - it was a magical artifact that could grant wishes. However, the puppet was also cursed, and anyone who used it would be punished. Pure, being the pure-hearted person she was, decided to use the puppets power for good. She wished for the ability to run faster, so she could help people in need. But as soon as she made the wish, the puppets curse struck. Pure was trapped in a never-ending rush, constantly running and unable to rest. She realized that the only way to break the curse was to use the puppets power for a selfless purpose. So, she wished for the ability to purify the water in her village, which was contaminated by a nearby factory. The puppet granted her wish, and the curse was lifted. Pure returned to her normal life, but she never forgot the lesson she had learned about the power of selflessness.
