The Lost Gift - Heart's Wish is the twenty-fourth episode of the first season of the Care Bears: Classic Series. In this episode, the Care Bears notice that a little girl named Sally is feeling sad and lonely. They decide to pay her a visit and share some of their Care Bear cheer with her. When they arrive at her house, Sally is thrilled to meet the Care Bears, but she tells them that she lost the locket her mother gave her and she can't find it anywhere.
All the Care Bears start searching for the lost locket, but it's nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Sally's sadness starts to turn into anger, as she feels that nobody can make her feel better and all those who came to help her are just ants crawling around. When Heart Bear hears Sally's wish, she takes it upon herself to find the lost locket and make Sally happy again.
Heart Bear makes a wish to find the lost locket and is determined to make it come true. She uses her powers to look deep into Sally's heart and see what the locket represents for her. Heart Bear discovers that the locket was a symbol of Sally's mother's love and that Sally had lost it when she threw a tantrum in her room. Being the kind bear that she is, Heart Bear decides to set out into the woods and find the lost treasure.
Heart Bear's search leads her to a beautiful clearing, where she finds a huge tree. She climbs up the tree and discovers that there's a secret door hidden in the trunk. Heart Bear bravely goes through the door, and finds herself in a magical room filled with treasures. She searches through all the little trinkets and finally finds Sally's lost locket.
When Heart Bear returns to Sally's house with the locket in hand, Sally's face lights up with joy. Her wish had been granted, and the Care Bears had succeeded in helping her feel better. Sally explains that she had thrown a tantrum and accidentally knocked the locket out of her window. She had never thought she would see it again, let alone find it hanging around her neck.
As the episode comes to a close, the Care Bears and Sally have a little picnic, and Sally says she feels much better now that she has her locket back. She thanks the Care Bears for their help and promises to take better care of her special treasure. The Care Bears, in turn, remind Sally that they are always there to help, and that her happiness is important to them.
Overall, The Lost Gift - Heart's Wish is a heartwarming episode that teaches children the importance of kindness and empathy. It highlights how wishes can come true when we have a pure heart and work together to make them happen. It's a great episode for kids to watch to learn about the Care Bears' message of love and positivity.
