A Journey to the Forest

Maria and her family decided to go on a fun adventure to the forest in the mountains of Olympus. They were excited to explore and see the beautiful trees and animals. But after a while, they realized they were lost. Maria felt scared and worried. They needed to find their way back home.

Maria's dad tried to use a map, but the map got blown away by the wind. They didn't know which way to go. Maria's mom suggested they follow the sound of a river, but they couldn't hear any water. They all felt very lost. Maria wished she was brave enough to help her family.

Maria saw a path and suggested they follow it. They walked and walked, but the path led them deeper into the forest. The trees looked scarier, and it was getting darker. Maria's little brother started to cry. Maria tried to be brave, but she felt like crying too.

They found a big rock and sat down to rest. Maria's mom said, - We need to find food and water soon. Maria's dad added, - We need to find a way out. Maria thought about what to do next. She felt very small and scared.

Maria wanted to give up. She thought, - We'll never find our way home. But then she remembered a story her grandmother told her about being brave. Maria stood up and said, - We can't give up now. Her family looked at her with hope.

Just then, they heard a rustling noise. An old, wise owl flew down and said, - Follow the light of the moon. It will guide you home. Maria felt a spark of hope. She thanked the owl and told her family, - Let's follow the moonlight.

They followed the moonlight through the forest. It was a long walk, but they kept going. Maria held her little brother's hand and told him stories to keep him brave. Finally, they saw their village in the distance. Maria's heart filled with joy.

Maria and her family finally made it home. They were so happy and relieved. Maria's mom hugged her and said, - You were so brave, Maria. Maria smiled and felt proud. She knew she had found the courage to help her family.
