Spring was coming to Nkanyezi’s village. Soon the villagers would gather to celebrate the new season . Nkanyezi looked forward to the Spring festival more than any other day in the year.  \nOne warm morning, Nkanyezi overheard two village elders talking about the festival. “The people of Ndlovu have lost their spirit of celebration,” one sighed.“How can we have a Spring festival in a village that has forgotten how to celebrate?” asked another  \nNkanyezi was worried.  \n“How will the sun shine again unless we sing to wake it from its winter slumber?” she asked herself.  \nNkanyezi thought for a long time. “I must find what we have lost,” she decided. “I must go in search of things that will bring back the spirit of celebration to my village.”  \nThe elders gave Nkanyezi their blessing for the journey. They gave her a bag to carry the things she would find.  \nNkanyezi was afraid, but she believed she would succeed.  \nNkanyezi walked all day. She hiked up a hill, and down into a valley. She sailed across the great river, and climbed between sharp rocks. She marched across the plains until she reached the shadow of the red mountains  \nAs night was closing in, Nkanyezi arrived ata village of patterns and colors as she had never seen before . She told the village elders about her journey to bring back the spirit of celebration to her people.  \nThe mother of this tribe gave Nkanyezi a gift. She told the girl, “With love we give to you this paint to restore color to a village that has gone dull.”  \nNkanyezi thanked the elders and put the  \npaint in her bag.  \nEarly the next morning she went on her way again, excited with this gift of color.  \nNkanyezi walked all day, through a vast forest of giant trees . As the sky became too dark for her to see, she heard the sound of beating drums. She hurried towards the drumming, feeling the spirit of dance coming to her tired feet","cbCaiaN40HRPpAts","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaN40HRPpAts","pdf",3840435,5,19,"English","en",105,"# The Lost Spirit of Spring\n## Nkanyezi’s Decision\n## The Blessing and the Gift\n## Traveling Through Nature\n## Following the Drums","[{\"question\":\"Why is Nkanyezi worried about the upcoming spring festival?\",\"answer\":\"The elders say people have lost their spirit of celebration, meaning the village does not know how to celebrate anymore.\"},{\"question\":\"What decision does Nkanyezi make after hearing the elders’ conversation?\",\"answer\":\"Nkanyezi decides to search for the things that can bring back the spirit of celebration to her village.\"},{\"question\":\"What gift helps Nkanyezi on her journey?\",\"answer\":\"A mother of another tribe gives Nkanyezi paint meant to restore color to a village that has gone dull.\"}]",1783570459,29,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":27},"searching-for-the-spirit-of-spring","",{"@graph":35,"@context":85},[36,53,68],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/searching-for-the-spirit-of-spring/48693/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-20","2026-07-09",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"Why is Nkanyezi worried about the upcoming spring festival?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The elders say people have lost their spirit of celebration, meaning the village does not know how to celebrate anymore.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"What decision does Nkanyezi make after hearing the elders’ conversation?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"Nkanyezi decides to search for the things that can bring back the spirit of celebration to her village.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"What gift helps Nkanyezi on her journey?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"A mother of another tribe gives Nkanyezi paint meant to restore color to a village that has gone dull.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,96,100,104,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":21,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":137},"General","general"]
