Passage: The Magical Forest

Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a magical forest that no one dared to enter. Legend had
it that the forest was enchanted, with talking animals and hidden treasures. One day, a brave young girl
named Lily decided to explore the mysterious woods.

As Lily entered the magical forest, she was greeted by a wise owl named Oliver. Oliver spoke in a soft,
melodic voice and offered to be Lily's guide through the enchanting realm. Together, they discovered
shimmering ponds filled with sparkling water and colorful flowers that danced to a magical tune.
