One sunny morning, Maya and her little brother Aarav decided to explore the forest near their
village. The forest was known for its sparkling streams, tall ancient trees, and the melodious
chirping of birds. It was their first time entering without an adult. With a map, water bottles, and
snacks, they walked deeper into the woods, carefully following a narrow trail.
Suddenly, Maya noticed a strange stone glowing faintly under the sunlight. Curious, she bent
down and picked it up. The stone felt warm, almost alive. Just then, a butterfly with shimmering
blue wings fluttered around them and landed softly on the glowing stone. In an instant, a small
hidden door opened at the base of a nearby tree.
Aarav gasped. “Do you think it leads somewhere magical?” he whispered, his eyes wide with
wonder. Maya didn’t answer but looked around, wondering if this was a dream. The forest had
always seemed ordinary before—but now it felt full of secrets.
The children stood silently, listening to the whispering wind. With trembling hands, Maya
stepped toward the door, feeling both nervous and excited. What mysteries could be waiting
behind it?
