Once upon a time, there were two siblings living in a small, quiet village. The brother’s name was Leo and the sister’s name was Lucy.One day, while playing in the forest, they decided to play hide and seek. Leo hid, and Lucy began looking for him. Suddenly, Lucy saw Leo run and fall into a deep, deep lake! While trying to swim back, Leo found a treasure map underwater.
Lucy helped pull him out, and he showed her what he had discovered.It was a long, mysterious treasure map! Excited, they decided to go on an adventure to find the hidden treasure.As their journey began, Leo and Lucy walked through the forest. After five minutes, they met Mr. Foxy.“Why are you here?” Mr. Foxy asked.Leo showed him the treasure map. Mr. Foxy said, “To get to the treasure, you’ll have to cross the Crocodile River — but the bridge is broken!”
Leo showed him the treasure map. Mr. Foxy said, “To get to the treasure, you’ll have to cross the Crocodile River — but the bridge is broken!”Leo had an idea. He tied a rope across the river, and they carefully walked across it like a balance beam. Lucy almost fell, but Leo caught her just in time.As night fell, they felt hungry. They picked some fruits from the trees and rested.The next day, they continued their journey. Soon, they met Miss Maria, a wise wolf. She said, “To go further, you must solve my riddle. If you were in a haunted house and there were three doors, which one would you choose? The first has ghosts, the second has a dragon, and the third has tigers.”
Leo thought carefully and said, “The second door — because dragons don’t exist!”Miss Maria smiled and let them pass. She also showed them a shortcut to the treasure. They climbed a tree to rest again.The next morning, they set off and found the third obstacle — a path of floating rocks. They had to crawl carefully because one wrong step could break them.
Holding hands tightly, they stepped carefully from rock to rock. But suddenly, Leo slipped and fell! Lucy quickly used a rope from her bag to pull him up.Back on their path, they met a kind man who needed help. “If you give me three carrots, I’ll help you go further,” he said. They had only two, but Leo found a hidden carrot behind a tree. The man smiled and helped them continue.
