In a small, bustling village by the river's side, the night was alive with joy and pride. It was the night of Loy Krathong, with lights and laughter loud and long.

Lanterns danced in the moonlit sky, as children giggled and boats floated by. In the heart of the fun, little Nira stood, her krathong all set, feeling so good.

“Look, Mommy! Look!” Nira exclaimed, her eyes twinkling like the stars that framed. Her krathong was grand, with flowers and light, ready to float in the river tonight.

With a gentle push, Nira set her krathong adrift. It floated on the water, like a magical gift. “Goodbye, little worries, goodbye and be free, float away gently over the sea.”

The full moon glowed, big and bright, casting its magic across the night. The villagers watched with awe and delight, as their wishes carried through the moon's light.

Suddenly, a shout rang clear and bright - it was time for the noppamas pageant tonight! Nira's heart beat fast with glee, “Maybe the Lantern Princess I shall be!”

Nira donned her finest dress, with beads and sparkles, she looked her best. She twirled and spun, feeling so grand, ready to walk across the moonlit sand.

As she walked on stage, the lanterns aglow, she felt like a star in a magical show. With every step, she heard the cheer, “You’re our princess, Nira dear!”

At last, the judges made their call, and Nira’s heart felt like a bouncing ball. “The Lantern Princess is...Nira our delight!” And the crowd rejoiced in the moonlit night.

Nira smiled wide, her heart pure and light, she knew this was a magical night. The river whispered with its gentle song, “Welcome to the world, Lantern Princess Nira, where you belong.”

As the night wore on and the lanterns faded, dreams were woven, never jaded. Nira held her crown with grace, knowing that in this magical place, every heart could find its pace.

So, under the full moon, where dreams came true, Nira and her lantern friends bid adieu. With a final wave and a hopeful heart, she knew from her friends, she'd never part.
