Your write up is really good I must tell the truth. I suggest you can put them into book format for students as novels.

You don’t need to carry regret alone. Sometimes, reading someone else’s regret is the first step to healing your own.

A 13-year-old boy sat in the village square with a wooden box and a strange sign:
“Regrets for Sale – 1 coin each.”
People laughed.
Until someone opened the box.
What they found changed everything…
Part 2:
The villagers thought it was a prank.
A game.
But one day, an old woman gave him a coin.
He handed her a folded note from the box.
She opened it slowly.
It read:
"I should’ve told my sister I forgave her before she died."
Part 3:
She froze. Her hands trembled.
"How did you know?" she whispered.
"I didn’t,” the boy replied.
“That regret belonged to someone else.
But it sounds familiar… doesn’t it?”
She didn’t speak. Just nodded—and left quietly.
Part 4:
Soon, people grew curious.
One by one, they came.
They paid a coin, took a note, read it... and sat in silence.
Some cried.
Some laughed.
But no one left the same.
Post 5:
Here’s the secret:
Daniel didn’t write the regrets.
He collected them.
People would sit beside him and share things they had never told anyone.
He’d write them down—anonymously—and add them to the box.
Post 6:
One man scoffed:
“What’s the point of this?”
The boy looked up and said:
“Most people carry regrets silently.
When you read one that sounds like yours...
you stop feeling so alone.”
Part 7:
Years passed.
Daniel became known as “The Regret Seller.”
But something strange happened.
People stopped coming to buy regrets…
They came to speak before they had one.
Part 8:
A young woman came to Daniel crying.
She hadn’t spoken to her father in years.
Daniel listened. Never judged.
She returned a week later smiling.
“I told him I love him,” she said.
“No regret in that.”
Part 9:
And that’s when Daniel quietly changed the sign.
The old wooden board now read:
“Wisdom, not Regret – Still 1 coin each.”
He wasn’t just collecting stories anymore.
He was helping people write better ones.
