Once upon a time, there was a merchant named Marcy who traveled the world to sell her wares. She met many artisans and craftsmen along the way, who would show her their beautiful creations made from wood, metal, cloth, and more.

One day, while Marcy was in a small village, she was approached by an attacker who demanded all her goods. But Marcy was not afraid, for she had learned self-defense from the craftsmen she had met. Using the skills she had learned, she fought off the attacker and saved her goods.

The villagers were so grateful to Marcy that they held a big celebration in her honor. They invited all the artisans and craftsmen to come and show their talents. Marcy was amazed by the beautiful things they made, and she promised to take some of their creations back with her to sell to others.

From that day forward, Marcy continued to travel the world, meeting new artisans and craftsmen, and spreading the joy of their creations to others. She became known as the kind and brave merchant, who always stood up for what was right.

The end.
