Once upon a time in a forest so grand,
A group of young animals began to band,
Together they set out on a quest,
To explore and navigate their way through the wilderness.

They knew to survive they must maintain their wits,
And approach each challenge logically, bit by bit,
Forgetting not their territory and their home,
As they explored through the thickets and the unknowns.

But sometimes the journey would cause them stress,
As they searched for shortcuts to get through the mess,
Yet they knew they couldn't afford to backtrack,
Lest they lose their way and their survival, slack.

So they pressed on, determined and bold,
Following the paths their instincts told,
Navigating through the forest and its sounds,
Discovering new sights and newfound grounds.

And though the journey was long and tough,
These young animals found it more than enough,
To explore the world outside their own,
To learn and grow, and to be fully grown.

And so, my little friends, if you're feeling lost,
Remember to maintain your focus and be boss,
Take your time, and don't forget your territory,
And soon enough, you'll be your own explorer, full of glory.
