a little girl wearing a hat and jacket in the woods

Danny loved playing in the woods near his house. One afternoon, he met a strange man who wore a wide-brimmed hat and never spoke. The man would smile at Danny, an unnaturally wide grin that showed too many teeth. Danny told his parents, but they dismissed it as imagination.Weeks later, Danny went missing. Search parties found no trace of him. Years passed, and the woods grew quiet again. Then one morning, Danny’s younger brother found a gift on their doorstep—a doll with a painted smile that looked just like Danny’s.When the brother touched it, he swore he heard faint laughter from the woods.
