Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Nell who loved reading the news in the newspaper every day. One night, she saw a headline that read, "Next Noble Prize Winner to be Announced at Nine O'Clock!" Nell was so excited and couldn't wait until nine o'clock to find out who the lucky winner was.
As she counted down the minutes, she thought about all the nice things she would do if she won the prize. But when the announcement finally came, Nell was disappointed to hear that she had not won. She said, "Oh no, I guess it's not meant to be," but decided to stay up and read more headlines anyway.
As she read, she learned about a noble person who had done something amazing to help others. Nell realized that being noble was more important than winning any prize and went to bed with a happy heart, dreaming of ways she could be noble too. The end.
