Join Fernando, a 10-year-old boy with short blonde hair and glasses, and his best friend, Mouse, as they embark on an exciting summer adventure in the woods of Forest City. They face a series of obstacles and learn the importance of honesty with family along the way.
Fernando and Mouse loved spending their summer days exploring the woods near their home in Forest City. One hot afternoon, Fernando found a shiny key hidden under a rock. He was curious about what it could unlock.
While examining the key, Fernando noticed a mysterious note attached to it. The note mentioned a hidden treasure buried deep within the woods. Excited, Fernando and Mouse decided to find the treasure.
As they ventured deeper into the woods, they encountered their first obstacle. A large, fallen tree blocked their path. Fernando tried to push it aside, but it was too heavy.
- We'll never get past this tree, said Fernando. - Don't give up, Fernando! Let's find another way around, Mouse encouraged.
After walking for a while, they found a narrow path that led around the fallen tree. However, the path was filled with thorny bushes. Fernando and Mouse carefully made their way through, but Fernando's shirt got caught on a thorn.
- Ouch! My shirt is stuck, Fernando exclaimed. - Hold still, I'll help you, said Mouse. Together, they managed to free Fernando's shirt and continued on their way.
They finally reached a clearing, but there was a wide, rushing river separating them from the other side. Fernando and Mouse looked around for a way to cross.
- How will we get across? Fernando wondered. - Look, there's a fallen log we can use as a bridge, Mouse pointed out.
Fernando carefully stepped onto the log, but halfway across, the log started to wobble. - Be careful, Fernando! Mouse warned. Fernando took a deep breath and slowly made his way to the other side.
Exhausted and disheartened, Fernando sat down under a tree. - Maybe we should just go home, he sighed. - Don't give up now, we've come so far! Mouse urged. - But what if we never find the treasure? Fernando asked.
- Remember the note? It said to trust your heart, Mouse said. - Maybe the treasure isn't something you can hold. - What do you mean? Fernando asked. - I think the treasure is about being honest with your family.
Fernando thought about Mouse's words. He realized he had been hiding things from his parents lately. - You're right, Mouse. I need to be honest with my family, Fernando said. - Let's go back and tell them everything, Mouse suggested.
With a newfound determination, Fernando and Mouse made their way back home. They didn't find a physical treasure, but Fernando felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He knew what he had to do.
When they reached home, Fernando sat down with his parents and told them about the key, the note, and his adventure. - I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, Fernando said. - We're proud of you for being honest, his mom said. - Honesty is the real treasure, his dad added with a smile.
