Uma Viagem à Floresta Sinistra

Sam had always been a curious teenager, often exploring the outskirts of his town in the French-Spanish suburbs. One chilly winter day, he stumbled upon an ancient book in his attic, telling tales of a mystical forest called Floresta Sinistra. The book mentioned an old dragon living there in distress due to a mysterious illness. Sam knew he had to help the dragon, but the forest was notorious for its treacherous paths. " - I must find a way to help the dragon," Sam said to himself, gripping the book tightly.

Determined to help, Sam ventured into the forest, but he quickly got lost amidst the towering trees. The forest was dense, and the paths were twisted, making it hard to find his way. To make matters worse, his glasses fogged up in the cold, making it difficult to see. " - I can't see anything! How will I find the dragon now?" Sam exclaimed in frustration as he wiped his glasses. The fear of never finding his way weighed heavily on him.

Just as Sam started to get his bearings, a strong gust of wind blew away the map he had drawn from the book. He chased it, but it disappeared into the shadows. " - Now what? Without the map, finding the dragon is impossible," Sam muttered, feeling disheartened. He sat down on a fallen log, the chilling wind biting at his cheeks. The forest seemed to grow darker, and Sam felt like giving up.

Sam began to doubt if he could help the dragon. He thought about turning back, the fear of failure looming over him. " - Maybe I should just go home," Sam sighed, feeling defeated. But deep down, he knew he couldn't leave the dragon in distress. The thought of the dragon suffering because of his inaction nagged at him. " - I have to keep trying," Sam whispered to himself, standing up with renewed determination.

As Sam wandered deeper, he heard a gentle voice calling his name. It was an old woman, a guardian of the forest, who appeared out of nowhere. " - You seek the dragon, young one?" she asked. Sam nodded eagerly. The guardian smiled kindly, handing him a small vial. " - This is the cure, but remember, only by being honest with yourself and others will you find the dragon," she advised. Her words resonated with Sam as he continued his journey.

With the guardian's words in mind, Sam followed his heart, and soon enough, he found the dragon's lair hidden behind a waterfall. The dragon lay weak and weary, its scales dull and eyes dim. Sam approached cautiously, holding the vial. " - I brought this for you," he said honestly, placing it beside the dragon. As the dragon drank, its strength returned, and it let out a grateful roar. Sam realized the power of honesty had guided him to save the dragon.
