This one entitled , Toby the squirrel.
In Malay langguage it is what written above.
Once upon a time, in a vibrant enchanted forest where leaves danced to the whispers of the breeze, there lived a litttle squirrel named Toby with fur the color of warm chestnuts and eyes sparkling with curiosity . Toby loved to explore the mesmerising world around him. At times he sneaked into the forbidden forrest where he was warned not to go out of curiosity. He was one bold very cute squirrel.
One sunlit afternoon, in the pursit of especially elusive acorn, he wandering far beyond home and soon realized he was utterly lost in the forbidden forest.
The once enchanted forest become the cursed the dammed one.
With each tree looking the same and every path winding into unfamiliar terrritory.
Toby heart begins to tremble, he searched high and low, scuttling through tickests, and leaping over babbling books calling out to his friends. Just as he was about to give in to his sorrow. A flashy shimmering feather cought his attention. Perched on gnarled branch is the wisest raven.
The raven look right through Toby as if cleansing his body and his heart. Toby stood still in awe as if hypnotized by the encounter.
The whole forest gone eerily quiet, not a single noise heard as if paying the outmost respect to the event.
Fear not little one, said the raven, her voice melodic and soothing. I have watched you searched and can help you home. But first you must heed 3 magical pieces of advise.First you must seek the Elder Tree than stand taller than all others.
There you find the first cue carved upon its ancient bark.
With determination surging through his body, Toby thanked the raven and set off towards the distant hills, where legendary Elder Tree whispered the tales of old. Toby climbed its towering trunk and found the cue- A riddle that spoke of the shimmering river that flowed like liquid silver.
Understanding the riddles, toby dashed toward the shimmering river. As he arrived, a wise old turtle came to the surface from the depth. Her shell adorned with glowing patterns. I see you seek to find home.
Here is your second piece of advise- A compass made of starlight
Toby gratefully accepted the compass, feeling its magical pulse through him.
He followed its gentle pull until he reached the Misty Weadows, where dandelions danced in the breeze.
Danced with us little squirrel, the playful breeze invited
'And the path to your home shall be revealed"
Joyfully Toby twirled and leaped among the dandelions, their fluffy seeds swirling around him in magical way.
As he danced for his lifeeeeeee( ode to drag race) ground beneath him glowed brightly, guiding him gently home.
When Toby opened his eyes, he was at the foot of his beloved Great Oak( Not mama Ru). With a burst of joy, he raced up the trunk and nestled back into his cozy nest.
That night, with stars twinkled like diamonds above him, Toby reflected on his journey.
No matter how long how difficult the journey might take, if we ever lost . listen closely to the magical compass within us .
Just a wee change for that little special kid inside us, a short fun playful story.
Hope you get the essence behind.
