Stay Wild, My Child
A young Viking girl named Astrid embarks on a courageous adventure to solve a mysterious disappearance in her village, guided by her mother's words, "Stay Wild, My Child." Facing challenges that test her bravery and creativity, Astrid learns the importance of perseverance and courage. Dedicated to my daughter, my wild one, Allison.
In a peaceful Nordic village, young Astrid, with her long blond braids, loved exploring the vast forests. One day, Astrid's mother whispered, "Stay wild, my child," as they watched the festivities in the village. Suddenly, a loud cry echoed from the village square, announcing the disappearance of the village's sacred heirloom-the golden horn. Astrid's heart raced; she knew she had to find it. " I must bring it back!" Astrid told her mother.
Astrid set out early the next morning, eager to solve the mystery. However, the first obstacle was that she didn't know where to begin. " Where do I start, Mother?" Astrid asked, feeling overwhelmed. Her mother replied, "Listen to the forest's whispers, my child." Astrid hesitated, unsure if she could understand the forest's secrets.
Determined to succeed, Astrid ventured deeper into the forest. She stumbled upon a babbling brook, but the slippery rocks threatened to slow her down. "Oh no! How will I get across?" Astrid exclaimed in frustration. She sat and listened to the murmurs of the air and the breeze in the trees. She steadily made her way across the stream, taking one stone at a time. Just as she managed to cross, a sudden storm rolled in, drenching her and obscuring her path. Astrid felt her heart sink.
Astrid found shelter under a large oak tree as the storm raged on. Exhausted and soaked, she wondered if she should give up. " Maybe I can't do this," she sighed, feeling defeated. The storm's howling winds seemed to echo her doubts. But then, she remembered her mother's words, "Stay wild, my child."
The storm passed, and a gentle voice broke the silence. A wise old owl perched nearby and spoke, " Courage, young one. The answer you seek is within the heart of the forest." Inspired and determined, Astrid knew she needed to follow her instincts. She listened closely to the sounds around her, noticing a faint melody in the distance. With renewed confidence, she followed the music of the forest.
Guided by the melody, Astrid discovered a hidden grove with the golden horn gleaming on the moss. Joy filled her heart as she carefully picked it up. " I did it!" Astrid cheered, her heart soaring. She gathered the horn and saw a naughty squirrel peering from the tree above her. " Did you steal the horn, you naughty squirrel?" The squirrel then scampered up the tree to its nest, pouting that it had lost its horn. Astrid returned to the village, greeted by cheers and hugs. Her mother smiled proudly and said, "You stayed wild, my child."
