By Oluwaseun Dara:
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived in a small village surrounded by lush green forests. She was an adventurous and curious girl who loved to explore new places and meet new people.
One day, while playing in the woods, Lily stumbled upon a mysterious cave hidden behind a waterfall. Without hesitation, she crawled inside to explore. As she made her way deeper into the cave, she noticed a faint glow in the distance.
Following the light, Lily stumbled upon a room filled with sparkling gems and glittering gold. She couldn’t believe her eyes! As she approached the treasure, she heard a voice behind her.
“Who dares to enter my cave and steal my treasure?” The voice boomed.
Lily turned around to see an enormous dragon with fiery red scales and piercing eyes.
Trembling with fear, Lily tried to explain that she didn’t mean to steal anything and just wanted to explore the cave. The dragon listened to her story and realized that she meant no harm.
“Very well,” the dragon said. “You may take one treasure as a reward for your bravery and curiosity.”
Overwhelmed with excitement, Lily picked out a small gem and thanked the dragon before scurrying back home to tell her family about her incredible adventure.
From that day on, Lily became known as the bravest and most adventurous girl in the village, and her curiosity continued to lead her on many more exciting journeys.
