Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Max who lived in a maze. One day, while exploring the maze, Max found himself at a dead end. He had lost his sense of direction and was feeling scared and alone. Suddenly, he heard a lifeline calling out to him.

Max followed the sound and found himself in front of a wise old owl. The owl told Max that he had a special gift: the ability to traverse through the maze with ease. All Max needed to do was trust his instincts and follow his sense of direction.

Max was hesitant at first, but the owl encouraged him to try. Max closed his eyes and let his instincts guide him. When he opened his eyes, he found himself facing the right direction. He continued on, following his sense of direction, and soon he found himself at the exit of the maze!

Max was overjoyed and thanked the owl for his help. From that day on, Max never lost his way in the maze again. He always trusted his sense of direction and never let a dead end discourage him.

The end.
