A Jornada na Montanha Araruta

Courage Watercolor style

Marcos, a curious 10-year-old, sets out on an adventure to uncover the mysteries of the legendary Montanha Araruta. Faced with challenges and self-doubt, he learns the value of courage and perseverance.

In the small village of Vila dos Ventos, everyone spoke of the mysterious Montanha Araruta. It was said that whoever reached its peak would discover a treasure beyond imagination. Marcos, a curious 10-year-old boy, was captivated by these stories. One night, he overheard his grandmother warning, "The mountain is not for the faint-hearted!" But Marcos was determined. "I have to find out what's really there," he thought to himself.

Early the next morning, Marcos packed a small bag and set off towards the mountain. As he reached the foothill, he realized the path was steeper than he imagined. "This looks tough," Marcos muttered, eyeing the rocky trail. He tried to climb, but his feet slipped. "Maybe this was a bad idea," he thought, sitting down to catch his breath.

Marcos continued to climb, but the mountain seemed to throw challenge after challenge at him. First, he encountered a dense fog that made it hard to see. "I can barely see my own hands," he said aloud, feeling alone. Then, a sudden gust of wind nearly knocked him off balance. "Maybe I should turn back," Marcos pondered, feeling the weight of uncertainty.

Exhausted and overwhelmed, Marcos sat on a rock and thought about giving up. "What if Grandma was right?" he wondered out loud. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked back towards the village. Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed a small bird flying effortlessly through the air. "If that tiny bird can navigate this mountain, maybe I can too," he whispered to himself.

Inspired by the bird, Marcos decided to push on. He remembered his father's words: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to persevere." As he climbed, he found a hidden trail marked by ancient carvings. "This must be the way!" he exclaimed with renewed energy. Each step felt lighter as Marcos followed the path, his heart full of hope.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Marcos reached the summit of Montanha Araruta. He was greeted by a breathtaking view and a sense of accomplishment. "I did it!" he shouted, his voice echoing across the valley. At that moment, he realized the true treasure was not gold, but the courage he found within himself. "I can't wait to tell Grandma," he said, smiling.
