DON'T GO FAR

It was a bright sunny day in tokyo, I was woken by the horns of cars passing by. Immediately, I woke up and got dressed, preparing for the day. Lily, my mother called from the kitchen where she was already preparing breakfast. Lily loved her mother so much and the only way she thought she could repay her back is by obeying her. Lily lived in a small village at the base of a grand mountain range. Lily was a kind-hearted and curious girl, with long brunette hair that flowed down her back like a river of silk. She lived with her parents in a cozy little cottage that sat beside a babbling brook. The family was happy, but they were not wealthy. Lily's parents worked hard every day just to make ends meet.

Lily, on her way to the mall she met a boy named Sam Sam lived in a small village located near the woods. Sam was a curious and adventurous boy, just as Lily. Sam and Lily loves exploring new places. Sam, the woods were his favorite's place. After some time of chit chatting, they both agreed on going on exploration in their desired places.

On a sunny morning they both set out to their desired place of exploration. Sam decided to go on an adventure in the woods. His mother, who was busy with her daily chores, reminded him, "Don't go far, and be back on time for lunch".

Sam agreed and quickly made his way into the woods. He was having a great time exploring new places and discovering different plant and animal species. However, as he wandered deeper into the woods, Sam lost track of time. Suddenly, he heard strange noises coming from a distant part of the woods. He became curious and followed the sounds, hoping to discover something exciting. After a while, he realized that he had wandered too far and had lost his way back.

Sam became scared as he began to realize that he had gone too far despite his mother's warning. He remembered her words. "DON'T GO FAR". Sam knew he had to find his way back quickly if he wanted to make it back home.

Lily, loved exploring the wilderness around her home, and she often spent hours wandering around the mountain trails, picking flowers and gathering mushrooms. She was fascinated by the wildlife that inhabited the forest, and she spent hours observing the birds and squirrels that darted through the trees. But one day, while she was out exploring, Lily encountered something she had never seen before. It was a beautiful golden bird, with glittering feathers that shone in the sunlight.

The bird fluttered over the trees, just out of reach, and Lily ran after it. She followed the breathtaking bird deep into the forest, completely losing track of time. Suddenly, she found herself alone, with the sun beginning to set behind the mountains. Lily realized, to her horror, that she was lost.

Frantic she began to call out for help but she was far from home, and there was no response. Night soon fell, and Lily was alone, scared, and hungry. She hunkered down in a nearby cave, pulling her thin coat tighter around her body, trying to ward off the chilly night air. Hours passed, but no one came to her rescue

As the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, Lily set out once again, searching for a way home. The terrain became rougher, and the young girl found herself stumbling over rock and tripping over trees roots. Eventually, she stumbled upon a warm cabin nestled among the trees. She knocked and an old woman answered it. The woman was kind and she welcomed Lily into her home, giving her warm clothes, food, and a soft bed to sleep in.

Lily stayed with the old woman for few days, helping her with chores and learning stories from her childhood. Finally, she realized that she had to find her way home. The old woman gifted her a compass, a pouch full of food and gave her directions to follow to go back to her village.

Lily made her way along the path the old woman gave her, still uncertain about what the future hold. But as she walked, she realized that she had gained a newfound strength and independence from her journey. When she finally made it back home, her parents were overjoyed to see her alive and well.

On the other hand Sam still in the woods, began retracing his steps cautiously. After a while, he finally stumbled upond a landmark he recognized, and soon he was able to retrace his way back home. When Sam arrived home, his mother was relieved to see that he had returned before lunch time.

The next day Sam and Lily met with each other and they both discussed their experiences. From that day onwards, Sam learned to heed to his mother's advice and never wandered too far into the woods. He knew that by the following her words, "DONT'T GO FAR," he would stay safe and still have plenty of adventures.

Lily chuckled. From then on, Lily had a newfound passion for exploring the world and learning new things. She continued to venture into the wilderness "TO KNOW MORE", but this time, she was prepared to face any challenge that came her way. And she knew that no matter what, she would always find her way back home
