The Tree Monster
Arnaud, a curious ten-year-old with flaming red hair, loses his baseball deep in a mysterious Canadian forest. His quest to retrieve it leads him to encounter a tree monster who may just be the friend he needs to overcome his fears and find courage. But with each step, Arnaud faces obstacles that make him question if retrieving his ball is worth the risk.
Arnaud and his friends were playing baseball on a sunny afternoon. As Arnaud swung his bat, the ball soared over the fence and into the dense, shadowy forest. He knew he had to retrieve it, but the forest was known for its eerie tales. Arnaud's curiosity outweighed his fear, so he decided to venture in. " - I have to get it back," Arnaud said determinedly. His friends watched nervously as he disappeared among the trees.
The forest was darker than Arnaud expected, with strange noises echoing around him. Suddenly, a thick branch blocked his path, as if the forest itself wanted to stop him. " - I can't let this stop me," Arnaud muttered, trying to push the branch aside. But it was too heavy for him to move. Frustration bubbled inside him as he realized this was just the beginning of his obstacles.
Deeper into the forest, Arnaud stumbled upon a muddy patch. His shoes got stuck, and he almost lost his balance. " - This is harder than I thought," he sighed, trying to free himself. Just as he managed to pull his foot out, he heard a rustling sound behind him. Turning around, he saw nothing but swaying trees. It felt like the forest was playing tricks on him.
Exhausted and defeated, Arnaud sat down on a log. The forest felt too big, too daunting. " - Maybe I should just give up," he whispered to himself, feeling the weight of his decision. The thought of leaving without the ball made his chest tighten, but he couldn't see a way forward. His courage was waning, and the forest seemed to agree, as the wind howled through the branches.
Just then, the rustling sound returned, and out stepped a tree monster, its eyes warm and kind. " - Don't be afraid," it said gently. "I know where your ball is." Arnaud, taken aback, felt a glimmer of hope. " - Really? You can help me?" he asked, his curiosity piqued again. With the tree monster's guidance, Arnaud felt his courage returning.
With the tree monster's help, Arnaud found his ball nestled in a bed of leaves. " - Thank you," he said, his heart swelling with relief and gratitude. "You showed me I could be brave." The tree monster nodded, " - Remember, courage is about facing your fears." Arnaud smiled, realizing he had learned something important. He returned to his friends, clutching his baseball and a newfound sense of bravery.
