In a small village nestled among lush green hills, there lived a girl named Linh. Linh was a smart and dreamy girl who always wanted to explore the outside world. Every afternoon, she would sit by the window, looking out into the distance and imagining wonderful adventures. But Linh's life was not easy. Her parents died early, leaving her to live with her grandmother, who was old and weak and needed care. One day, while cleaning the attic, Linh accidentally found an old book. The cover was faded, but the pages inside were still intact. The book told of the journeys of great explorers, magical places and undiscovered mysteries. Linh felt her heart flutter. She decided that she would become an explorer, searching for light and hope for her life and her grandmother's.
The next morning, Linh woke up earlier than usual. She packed a small backpack with the necessities: some food, water, an old map, and the book she had found. Before leaving, Linh visited her grandmother. She looked at her with a worried but proud look. "Be careful, Linh. The outside world is not always safe," she said. Linh nodded, promising to return soon.
As she walked out of the village, Linh felt a sense of freedom fill her heart. She walked through green fields, clear streams, and dense forests. Every step brought her new emotions. Little did she know that her journey would lead her to unexpected wonders and challenges.
After many days of walking, Linh came to a mysterious forest. She heard the chirping of birds and the sound of running water. As she went deeper into the forest, she discovered a beautiful waterfall, the water flowing down from above, forming a clear blue lake. Linh could not resist, she jumped into the lake, feeling the cool water caressing her body.
While swimming, Linh saw a sparkling light at the bottom of the lake. She dived down and found a glowing gemstone. The stone emitted a blue light, making Linh feel like she was holding a part of the universe. When she returned to the shore, a strange creature appeared. It was a small dragon, with blue fur and eyes that shone like stars. "Thank you for freeing the stone," the dragon said. "I am Ryu, and I will help you on your journey."
